Weldon Spring Conservation Area

A: No. The Missouri River and that is not drinkable.

- Charlie keeven (3 years ago)

A: As far as I know, it's not against the rules but it's a bad idea. I don't like swimming in rivers like the Missouri because you never know what kind of under currents there are.

- Chase Lehmann (4 years ago)

A: The trail does not connect to the river. There is a small creek it traverses but this time of year it is mostly dried up.

- Eric D. Jenkins (4 years ago)

A: The currently allowed animals as of June 2020 are Deer, Turkey, Dove, Rabbit, and Squirrel. As long as the season of the animal you are hunting is open, you are allowed to hunt it in this Conservation Area.

- Chase Lehmann (4 years ago)

A: Deer are managed hunts only. Have hunted dove and quail there.

- Bradley Barnes (5 years ago)

A: I've not seen any.

- Logan Schoch (5 years ago)

A: Nothing like that.

- Richard Raaf (5 years ago)

A: I do not believe you are allowed to swim there

- chris eggleston (5 years ago)

A: Sundown is closing time.

- edward jandreau (5 years ago)

A: I believe they close everything at sundown.

- Richard Raaf (5 years ago)

A: Ideally, with a boat off of the fish and wildlife service islands near Confluence point.

- Charles Spitler (5 years ago)

A: No clue

- Sheila Case (5 years ago)

A: Yes

- Lige Williams (5 years ago)

A: The Lewis and Clark trail approximately 1.5 miles in

- Andrew Jayne (5 years ago)

A: About 1.5 miles or so on the Clark trail

- Charles Spitler (5 years ago)

A: Squirrel hunting is allowed here. I've been going for the past week or so since Howell Island is inaccessible due to the river being too high.

- Chase Lehmann (4 years ago)

A: You would want to probably give them a call during the week to verify but I'm pretty sure yes to the squirrel hunting but I'm pretty sure you cannot go with any single projectile firearms meaning you can only go with shotguns but you can definitely give them a call or check it out online to verify what the regulations are. https://mdc.mo.gov/

A: Camping is not permitted in any conservation, you can day hike the area though. Of course no fires but backpacking stove's are allowed if you want to cook food or a heat a drink. I suggest you check out the ALLTRAILS app which can let you see other trails nearby where your allowed to do some backpacking/ dispersed camping/stealth camping whatever you wish to call it. Also inside any National Park you can camp off trail almost anywhere as long as 100 feet away from trail, parking, paid campsites and/or water sources. Not to mention inside national parks its legal to collect wood and have campfires{Free Wood). Where most state parks and areas you can possibly get away with it but technically isn't permitted and may cause a meet with a ranger and maybe along with fine. So do some research because in my opinion if you had to ask that question you probably shouldn't be in the woods overnight alone anyways. P.S. - Google Maps can not function the same as Google Search

A: There no rattlesnake!

- Detailedstream 1991 (6 years ago)
