Strawberry Creek Nature Area

Welcome to Strawberry Creek Nature Area

Nestled on Upper Tenbrook Road, just half a mile past the intersection of Tenbrook and Hwy 231 in Arnold, Missouri, Strawberry Creek Nature Area spans 118 acres of serene natural beauty. Dedicated to preserving our natural heritage, this enchanting park invites you to explore its lush landscapes, diverse vegetation, and thriving wildlife.

Discover the tranquility of Strawberry Creek as it meanders through the property, offering a picturesque backdrop for your visit. Enjoy leisurely strolls along our four walking trails or relax by the pond, immersing yourself in the wonders of nature. For gatherings, our pavilion, located near the entrance, comfortably seats 35 people and is available for rent.

Please note that while the site has a portable restroom, there is no electricity or running water. However, exciting enhancements are on the horizon. In collaboration with the Missouri Department of Conservation, plans are underway to construct additional ponds for fishing and to enhance wildlife habitats. Future developments also include installing restrooms and paving the parking lot for added convenience.
