Sometimes all we need for the perfect day is sunshine, cool water, and a slight breeze. We can pretty much find perfection in all corners of Missouri. And, this crystal clear lake in Missouri promises an idyllic backdrop for a memorable day outdoors – from the golden rays of the sun shimmering off of the water to the sun sinking behind the lake.
Pack everything you'll need - swimsuits, beach towels, bottled water, and a picnic - for your trip to Stockton State Park, a sprawling 2,176-acre park.
And, while you'll find plenty to do in the lush park, make a beeline for the crystal clear water of Stockton Lake. Spend a leisurely day lounging on the beach and cooling off in the water.
Or, wile away the day on the water - boating or paddle boarding - but first stop at the Marina to get everything you need for your time in or on the water. Why not bring your dog along for the fun, too?
Having such a good time you just don't want the day to end? Well, it doesn't have to! Even if you don't have reservations, find a spot to sleep at the walk-in camping area.
