"Fantastic hike with some rough spots. Beat for intermediate day hikers, with views and scenery well worth it. The route takes you along the creek and offers some amazing views that are well worth hiking to."
"Hawn is always a delightful place to be. The trails are majestic, and the views are unbeatable! All of the trails here are gorgeous and very well marked & maintained. You're not likely to get lost here :)"
"Went to Hawn state park October 14, 2023. Had a great time hiking the pickle creek trail, the trail was well marked. I got to see cool rock formations, giant boulders and small waterfalls and cascades. I see why a lot of people like this park. I’ll have to come back here to do the whispering pine trail. Highly recommend visiting!"
"So , the place is well kept, and has plenty of spots to camp,and a playground for kids, it has trails, and signs posted properly, however I came to see the outlook, which was not posted properly here, stopped and asked an park ranger for directions, went there just to see no outlook no nothing just overgrown trees, the park ranger didn't mention any of this ! To hike the trails is a little crowded due to all the people who was camping here at the time, so my experience here could of been better, I will say it's upkeep was very well, and it does have the features of what beginner hikers with little kids would be looking for."
"Another wonderful Missouri state park. The campsites here are gorgeous, plenty of room, level, concrete pads with firing and picnic table. Table. The shower house is very clean, four individual showers, separate restrooms and laundry. There is one washer and one dryer, they each cost $1. There is firewood and ice for sale at the campground. The park itself also has some beautiful hiking trails, unfortunately, none that are rated easy. Other people have said there is no cell phone service here, but that's not quite true. We did have enough AT&T service that we could stream the news on our phone, and sporadic Verizon service. There is no over the air TV. All the sites are electric only, or primitive, but there is a dump station. There is a children's playground at the campground and another one at the trailhead. There's also a beautiful picnic area near the trailhead."
