Beautiful scenery and very kind, welcoming and friendly people on the trail. Tons of space to enjoy nature. There are open paths or small wooded trails.Great place to take dogs for a change of scenery.

Just the right wilderness feeling you would get from out of nowhere. Spotted owls, hare and cardinal birds. Would love to visit in the mornings.

I like this place coz I love these place where you can peace.

Natures beauty and great hiking trails.

Great views. Rock climbing, hiking, biking, etc. This is a great spot to visit.

Great walking trails and leash free zones

Trails,the creek and the bluffs make this a excellent outdoor activity.

Great trails, very clean park, kid friendly, safe atmosphere and overall the best views to be seen in Columbia, MO.

Loved this park! Great trails, rock climbing and more. This park really is for the outdoorsy types but caters to all walks of life.

Ideal place to get out and social distance easily.

Great trails and great rock climbing. Also just super pretty.

The lookout point is amazing. I was in Missouri for a wedding & now I have to come back for more hiking & trails. Amazing amount of green forestry to enjoy

Sitting on a bluff in the morning is a good way to find clarity....you can do that here. Good for dogs aswell. Nice plot of nature in the city. Word.

I would say a very good place to visit. It has such a good hiking track that you are going to love it if you like some adventurous stuff. N then you will get some real good photography stuff during the hike. So all in all must visit it n come here in the day time, you wont regret.

Its right next to the citys mulch pile where you can witness large Machinery processing tree limbs into mulch

A very nice and clean park with trails, rock climbing, and great views if you choose too go up on the clifftop trails. Definitely one of my favorite parks too go to in Columbia, and surprisingly not as well known as most of the other places in the area.

Nice place to go rock climbing.

Love this park for hikes and exploring by the water.

One of the best over looks inside of Columbia City limits. You have access to the creek, trails, bike trails that connect to other parks, rock climbing, and plenty of woods and open areas to hang out and explore.

My kid loves this place

A gem right in town. Give it a try.

Fantastic trail with breathtaking views! Im not sure how I managed to live in Columbia for 3 years without hearing about Capen park. I highly recommend checking out the trail as the views will not disappoint. Lots of open areas for photo opportunities!

Awesome rock climbing wall!!! Its only a 5 minute walk from the car and perfect for top ropers!! The trails are quiet and serene as well along with this cool tree that looks like a hand!!

Rugged scenic trails and terrain here but several different choose your own adventure paths to choose from!

Best park in Columbia.

Another nice park to visit. Some parts of the trail are narrow and one piece runs close to the road but otherwise good

Fun trails. Great place to run and bike

Love this park so much.

Nice trails. Nice scenery

Beautiful place loved it

One of my favorite parks. The views are great from up in the bluffs.

Awesome lowland and upland trails. High cliffs, solid anchor points for repelling and pet friendly. Hinkson Creek is a great place for rock hounds and arrow head hunters. Beautiful.

Nice shaded gravel trail along the Hinkson Creek

Dog owners pickup their dogs poop on and near the trails. Dogs run natural and with joyous abandon. Good, moderate exercise. Great views!

Had a wonderful visit here with my boyfriend.

A cool place to check out

Love the scenery

I love this nice secluded conservation area. its a very clean and not a very busy part of little Dixie conservation.

Great place

Its a beautiful little Park. It has at least 3 trails. Its a great place to take your dog for a walk.

Nice walking trail

Capen is an absolutely beautiful spot to walk or ride bikes. Trails are flat and easy. The view from the tall cliff is magnificent. Also has some fabulous entry level rock climbing. I would recommend this place to all climbers looking to get outdoors quickly. The crag is around 200 ft from the parking lot. Very easy access.

Jump in the leaves and branches off the trees and its a good place to do that and if you want some mulch its not that high dollar stuff but it works put it down cover it up with the expensive stuff covers a lot more area and still looks. good

My favorite in Columbia nature area, it has different areas, some climbing and places to bike. absolutely wonderful!!!

Absolutely beautiful place to explore in the heart of Columbia.

Awesome place to hike. Great place for dogs too.

Walk your dog leash free on the trails (not the gravel ones; leashes required there. For natures beauty in all seasons, its a wonderful place to visit.

Great place for a bike ride when it is very hot.

If you are a dog parent and are looking for off-leash hiking opportunities, this is the place to go. There are winding, seemingly endless trails to enjoy with your doggo, and unlike some other nature areas that allow for off leash dogs (note for first-timers: read the rules!), you wont often run into cyclists on the paths. In ten years, I can say Ive run into maybe one cyclist. Aside from the dog friendliness, the area is beautiful and offers myriad types of trails, from ones that are flatter and easier to your pretty steep hiking up to beautiful cliffs.

Tons of trails and it was well maintained

Best centrally located park in como

Beautiful place the views were spectaular definitely be coming back here

Great place for rock climbing!!

Doggie Leash Free Zone!!!

Love walking here. Great place for off leash walking

Beautiful walk along the trail

Nice trekking trail

Beautiful in town park with a captivating View and well-maintained trails. Great place to take your dog

Mono y mono is a 5.11b with the best finger pocket Ive ever grabbed. Id say the 8 or 9 routes here are all 1 move wonders, but its 5 minutes from downtown so quit complaining.

Very peaceful and beautiful

Amazing trails! You can hike along top of the bluffs or down along the creek. Plenty of places with awesome views.

Great unleash dog park...

Amazing place to go and hangout. Either up on the rocks or down by the stream its easy to have a relaxing time.

Very beautiful place. Dont even realize your in middle of town

Beautiful overlook with great scenery!

Great place to walk, jog, hike, rock climb, and explore. Dogs can be off leash. Trails galore!

Great place for an outdoor afternoon in CoMo. A real treasure.

Because it be good

Capen park offers beautiful views of Columbia and the trails or lovely. It can be a tad crowded on nice days, but otherwise one of my favorite places.

This place is HORRIBLE !!!!! Stay AWAY! !! Bears and Mountain Lions running WILD! It is NOT SAFE !!!!! Much better to go to Grindstone or Rock-Bridge...

Many interesting places to visit but I would highly recommend going up to Capen Cliff to watch the sunrise.

Nice view, nice place to walk dogs or stop by, street noise is audible in the park.

This park is a little hidden gem inside of the heart of Columbia! Great views and such a fun place to walk/hike!

This is a perfect park to go hiking or rock climbing at!

Beautiful place to be alone, or fall in love ;) !

Absolutely a MUST VISIT for any local Columbian or any visitor. Take a 5 minute hike to the top of the cliff and check out the view of Columbia!!

Peaceful with shaded trails.
