A day outdoors can often cure whatever ails us, including cabin fever or the blues. At Wallace State Park, you’ll find so much to do and so much to appreciate that the time – and any stress you might have – will simply melt away. Kick-off your visit with a scenic hike along Skunk Hollow Trail in Missouri, a gorgeous path that’s dotted with charming footbridges and colorful wildflowers.

Just about an hour north of Kansas City, the scenic Skunk Hollow Loop Trail winds 1.4 miles through Wallace State Park. The easy trail is perfect for the whole family or just a solo trek.
