Cuivre River State Park
View a virtual tour of the park
Cuivre River State Park lends a wilder, Ozarkian flavor to the otherwise predominately agricultural landscape of northern Missouri. Although not far from St.
Louis, the park is a nature lover's paradise. A stroll through the park in the spring when many woodland wildflowers are in bloom or in the fall when the prairie grasses tower over your head is an outdoor delight. Spend a few days at the park. Both primitive and modern campsites are available, and Lake Lincoln offers swimming, boating and fishing. The park's two wild areas provide hiking, backpacking, photography and wildlife observation activities. There are also equestrian trails and a campground for overnight stays. Three natural areas noted for their high-quality ecosystems feature native prairie, sinkhole ponds, woodlands and a clear, rock-bottomed stream. Big Sugar Creek is one of the finest undisturbed streams left in northeastern Missouri. Several trails lead through the Lincoln Hills Natural Area and its many unique natural features. Whether for a few hours or a few days, come visit one of the state's largest and most rugged parks. You will find Cuivre River State Park to be an Ozarklike island in north Missouri's rolling plains.

Woods Fort
Woods Fort is Troy's most historical park area. The land was given to the city in 1819 by the founding fathers, Deacon Cottle and Zadock Woods. A natural spring ran on this lot and provides the area with resources for growth until blasting stopped the flow of water during the construction of Highway 47.

On the lot now stands two log cabins, which were reassembled and are currently being used to house "Santa" during Christmas festivities and for community and civic celebrations. A memorial marker describing the historical back ground of the lot is on the grounds. Benches and tables are on the area located across the street at the intersection of Boone and Main Street.

Woods Fort Golf Course
The 18-hole "Woods Fort"
course at the Woods Fort Country Club facility in Troy, Missouri features
6,404 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72.
The course rating is 71.8 and it has a slope rating of 129. Designed by Jerry Loomis, the Woods Fort golf course opened in 1994. This course was built on gently rolling hills, so you can expect some uneven lies. The fairways are relatively wide and generous, and the greens are average sized and flat. Water hazards come into play on four holes. The signature hole is #7: a 345 yard, Par 4 requiring a shot over a creek to a well-bunkered landing area, then an approach shot to a small sloping green guarded by a lake in front and out of bounds on the right.
