"Went to check it out. Has two walking/hiking paths. One a bit over 4 miles and, the other is almost 2.5 miles. We weren’t physically ready for either one. Plus, we got there a bit late to start such walks. Seeing the house on site was really nice. Nice to see they’re renovating it. Asking for funds to do such a project. Lovely views! Wow!"
"It was an awesome hike, one that will be remembered! I wouldn't suggest pulling a wagon though. haha lesson learned."
"Visited here with my son and dog a few months back and I totally forgot to post about it. Don Robinson state Park is awesome. The hike is beautiful and definitely gives you a workout."
"Very nice state park. It’s a newer park in the Missouri state park system. There’s two trails, one about 4 miles the other about 2.5 miles. The longer (red) trail can actually be shortened as there’s a cut off trail about half way through. Red trail is nice. Starts off paved for handicap accessibility. That stretch is more open and had lots of wildflowers in bloom (early September) with lots of pollinators buzzing around them. The trail then becomes a dirt and gravel path that’s well marked with red blazes, which is good because there are lots of “hiker made” trails that shot off of the actual trail all over the place. Pay attention or you could end up on the wrong path and have to backtrack. The actual trail follows the top of a bluff line, but others have blazed a trail to the lower portion of the bluff. Not much in the way of amenities; toilet with spigot and running water behind toilets. My son said the drinking fountains were off. A shelter with picnic tables. Paved parking is limited, but there is a lower gravel lot that we saw. View from overlook area is nice. Probably a great scene in the fall when the leaves change. The park is close to the St. Louis metro area and depending upon where you live could be not a 20 to 30 minute drive. The roads to it though are very windy."
"Great park with awesome trails! Trail starts off partially paved surrounded by trees then descends down through the woods. Great scenery! Beautiful cliffs, caves/rock shelters, creeks, and a few small waterfalls (weather permitting- none when we went early March 22). Covered picnic area at start of trail which was nice. Trail wasn't difficult, some incline/decline but nothing too steep. But there are a LOT of side trails/trail crossings so it can be easy to get lost if you're not careful. Finished this nice hike with a beautiful sunset on the way back to the car!"
