Burr Oak Woods CA

Burr Oak Woods Conservation Nature Center is located 30 minutes from Kansas City and is Missouri’s first-ever nature center. It consists of 1,071 acres and provides miles of trails – both paved and unpaved – and a Nature Center. The hiking trails weave along woodland, prairies, a waterfall and limestone boulders that are perfect for jumping. The trails offer a variety of terrain depending on hikers’ needs with options for paved, crushed gravel or dirt and mulch. The Nature Center hosts interpretive programs year-round for kids of all ages, as well as field trip opportunities. Learning doesn’t stop inside the Nature Center; there’s also an outdoor Discover Nature Classroom for kids to exercise their creativity and learn more about nature.
