Giant Springs State Park was first discovered in 1805 by the Lewis & Clark expedition. It has one of the largest freshwater springs in the country. The water is always 54 degrees no matter what time of year it is, and in the winter months, the water vapor freezes on the trees creating a beautiful winter scene. In the summer, there are tons of activities for the whole family, from hiking to biking, bird-watching, and more. Explore Giant Springs State Park this summer.
Visit the Springs
It’s an easy walk from the parking lot to the springs and a beautiful site when you get there. The gushing springs flow from under the ground into the Missouri River. The water that comes in is clear and pure, and you can watch as it mixes with the muddy river water. The path up to the dam is suitable for all ages and offers some great views of the river.
Visit the Fish Hatchery
The Giant Springs trout hatchery is a must for any visit to the park. The production facility has 24 outside raceways and one show pond. The hatchery building has egg incubators and 40 interior raceways that visitors can view from the visitor center. The hatchery stays open to the public every day and offers tours on weekdays. The inside exhibit has loads of information and a viewing window where you can see in the hatchery tanks. If you go outside, there is a trout pool where you can see the fish and feed some of the largest ones. Food dispensers next to the pool will take nickels and give you a handful of the pellets to feed the fish.
Explore the Hiking and Biking Trails
There are many hiking trails to explore in the park. The River’s Edge Trail to the Rainbow Dam Overlook is excellent for hiking and biking. It runs for 4 miles and offers bird-watching and beautiful views. The park also has over 20 miles of single track biking trails and miles of paved trails for bikers and walkers. You can also hike over to the Ryan Dam to see all the different birds and wildlife that live here.
Visit the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center
The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center allows visitors to relive the 8,000-mile journey taken by the famous explorers. The experience starts inside with two videos in the large theater. You can join a range for one of the programs or walk through the center and explore the many hands-on exhibits. The exhibit hall offers a self-guided experience where you can test your strength pulling against the Missouri River’s current or go on a scavenger hunt. Head outside with a ranger or go out and explore the trails on your own.
There are tons of things to do and explore at Giant Springs State Park. In addition to the springs, there are several waterfalls to see, a variety of birds to view, and fishing in the river.
