Happy Earth Day!

On 4/11, park staff, volunteers, and the Friends of Rock Bridge gathered for three hours to remove numerous bags of litter along Hwy 163.

Their work offers a chance to celebrate keeping Missouri State Parks free of litter.

Removing litter from the environment is an important part of Earth Day celebrations, as well as something volunteers and staff work on throughout the year.

If you are interested in assisting with future clean-up opportunities, please reach out to the park's office at (573) 449-7402.
