You could tell it was newer, clean bathrooms, and a water fountain to fill water bottles! The picnic tables were concrete and pavilions clean. I was super impressed with this park!

I travel for a living with my pets so I am a critic when it comes to dog parks and this one has everything needed water access, separate doggy areas, CLEAN doggy areas which is rare. The park is gorgeous I will be going here lots while on my 6 week assignment with my pups. The grounds are kept amazingly clean and beautiful for dogs people and children. Thank you Parks division for a wonderful play area in Missouri. The entire setting is worth the drive for me from Sikeston just north on 55 and GPS right to the location. You WONT be disappointed LOTS of parking as well.

It has a unusual geological site of bending . But nothing to explain it at the site well worth a lookeeloo.

I…read moremust really love my nieces because they told me there was a snake in this building, even a double headed one and I stay clear from any sort of reptile. Snakes freak me out! The conservation is beautiful. Local flowers, animals, amphibians, bees, birds, reptiles and fish. They had information about hunting, fishing, and all the animals. One thing I learned is that the Queen Bee has a green spot on her back. I used to teach elementary and I never knew that. (Or maybe I'm forgot) either way... How cool! They have a few activities for the kids and toucan so use binoculars and look at birds, butterflies and squirrels right outside the window. It's quite beautiful and a fun way to learn.

I searched forever and through a random subdivision looking for the trail in this park based on…read moreinfo already on the internet. As long as it took I could have gone to Trail of Tears and found some real trails. First off, directions. There was not a sign labeling the park, but merely a street sign labeled "Klaus Park Drive." If you are coming from the north from Jackson, it will be a left turn, or a right turn coming from Cape. You will not be able to see the trail directly from the road, nor are there any trailhead markings. The best description I found buried a few pages of Google searches was to park at the first pavilion and walk about 25 feet into the woods and you will intersect the trail. The trail is not much more than a foot or so wide. I found this park on Cape's website and suggested it was good for trail running, and I needed my head cleared with a good run, so I departed at 6:15 in the morning of a muggy late July day in search of this trail. No one else was at the park. I didn't record how long it was, but online it is listed at about 5K, and that seemed about right. As they were trying to cram that distance in a small space, there are many switchbacks and turns, and no significant climbs. I didn't bring headphones as one of the great parts about trail running is hearing nature...but all I heard was traffic on the adjacent interstate freeway. That was not relaxing and soon into the run I was just annoyed and wanted to get done faster. Due to the narrowness of the trail, it is definitely built for mountain bikes. I was unsure if any poisonous plants were near the trail, but if you tend to react to these plants and are running or walking, be forewarned that it isn't a clear trail and you will interact with many plants
