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.
Cabin rental is $25. |

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. |
