There are over 50 picnic sites scattered throughout the park and a children’s playground facility located in the main picnic area. Two picnic shelters can also be reserved for large family gatherings or special outings. Both shelters are covered and can accommodate up to 75 guests. The shelters include outdoor grills, picnic tables, electrical outlets and restroom facilities. Contact the park office at 417-847-2539 in advance to reserve the shelters at a rate of $40 per day. If not reserved, the shelters are available at no charge on a first-come, first-served basis.

The swimming pool, located across from the park office, is open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. The pool is open to all park visitors at a nominal fee.
