What a great trail! Just remember to watch for snakes.

Water is really low but still very beautiful and a small swimming hole was nice with cold cold water. We had a blast!

Could use better trail markers, but the trails are good. A beautiful place to visit.

Hiked the Turkey Creek Loop on a hot day. A little over 3 miles. There were 4 stream crossings but the water was low and we were able to cross no problem. Just be cautious after recent rains as it may be difficult or impassable.

Gorgeous trail, be sure to bring enough food and snacks as this can get tough on a hot day!

Our dig Timons first creek trip. He loved it.

Love this place! Scenic views, and a swimming hole with a rope swing. Admittedly the rope swing is pretty useless to swing off into the water, but its still fun. We always have a great time here.

Great trails with a lot of different paths. Can be as easy or as hard as you want. Great bluffs to also get some pretty incredible views. Really fun during winter when the creeks have ice. The tunnel that is in the area is blocked off but apparently it will eventually be opened back up. Also decent areas are available to camp.

Great place to get back in touch with nature. Beautiful rock bluffs with caves all over. BTW, all the really cool stuff is off the trail. Make your own trail and discover some things. Come prepared to hike up and down big hills. Primitive-style camping here is great but youll have to hike a ways to get to the good camping spots by the creeks. There are no designated camping areas so hike as far as you can until you find an area that suits you.

Great place to hike and get away. Keep an eye out during different hunting seasons. Conservation areas are great unknown treasures in Missouri. This area has at least three different main entrances. This one is just south of Pierpont

Good primitive camping, nice scenery.

I would love to see more horse trails

Very beautiful park. Quiet and peaceful. Not very crowded. Bluffs, hills, and a Creek. Highly recommended.

This is great trail. The markers are hard to follow so be careful. I saw people that were lost, and would not take anyones advice.

Beautiful and free. All but Tomlin Hills access blocked by landowners.

I would have starred this higher because the area is geologically and visually FASCINATING; however, I will not return without sidearm and dog. There was a three tent camp area that had been abandoned (tents, chairs, etc.) only to be squatted upon by what appeared to be a homeless (at best) man. He stated he had slept in his truck the previous night and stumbled upon this camp site that morning. He would clean it up. We were not going to stick around to verify his story or his intent. Way too creepy; better safe than sorry - we hot-footed back to the car.

A nice quick hike with a good bit of descending and ascending for those who want a bit of exercise. The trail is not long at all from what a friend and i could find and the location requires some pretty esoteric info on the area in order to find quickly.

Clean quiet place

Absolutely love Three creeks however I typed in paved trails to search and got three creeks and I know there are NO paved trails there. Fabulous place been going for decades even caved there several times when I could still walk but I no longer can so its closed to me and the trails are not even rocked very well.

My family and I hike here a lot! Beautiful hidden gem. Gorgeous scenery with creeks, cliffs and great valley views that are even better with leaves off trees.

States this is set up for camping but only during hunting season.

Breathtaking is all I can say!

Awesome trails, greeting for hiking and horseback riding. Great rock formations. Plenty of nice backpacking camp sites. Another win for the MDC.

Easy to get lost

Beautiful and quiet

One of my favorite places in Missouri!

Beautiful...

It was a gorgeous trail even though some of it was closed off.

Trails and more trails. Beautiful.

Great place for a hike or for an overnight. Lots to see and do!

Access to horseback trails from large gravel parking areas at northern aspect. Trails themselves are easy for the most part. Riding is limited by temporary trail closure where private property meets conservation area property.

Not a lot of signage when driving in, but the trails are in decent shape, and it has some interesting bluffs to hike around.

Several locations to hike, swim and camp. Numerous variety of wildlife to view in their natural habitat. As well there are several hidden caves on this property to explore. Missouriation Department has done an excellent job managing this area.

Great place to take a long walk, especially in the spring time.

Nice trails

No place on earth like this place

Quick trip to test out some backpacking gear. What a nice surprise. I got there just before dark and camped just off the trail. On the way out, I saw beautiful flowers, bluffs, rock formations and a fantastic campsite Ill use next time.

I wonderful place to hike and hunt

Great Conservation Area for beautiful hikes that includes a few primitive camping sites just a few miles south of the Columbia City Limits.

So much beauty i cant put it in to words..just check it out for your self! FYI bring a flash light if your the adventurous type

As a public natural resource I would like to give this area five stars, but due to the inaccuracy of MDCs map of the Turkey Creek Interpretive Nature Trail, I took away a star. The map is particularly inaccurate in the area immediately surrounding the parking lot for the trail, making it difficult to get ones hike off on the right foot. While we had a delightful time getting slightly lost, it could be a real problem if hiking with young children.

Great trail, but the map might need to be updated. We were thinking that we were on the 3 mile trip and we definitely were not

Love this area. Beautiful place, nice trails.

Good little place just to listen to nature

Great peaceful area to hike

Dont eat the Mayflower apples on the way down the hill they made me sick

AWESOME!!!Three creeks is amazing?

Good for rock hunting.

Beautiful day on trail today....even though Lacy was ornery today!

BEAUTIFUL

This a nice trail. Part of it was closed this weekend. There is a cave you can get to, but there is a great deal of itch weed along the way.

Beautiful views, Great photo ops, some easy trails, some definitely challenging! Mother Nature at her finest!

Fun when the water is high enough to take a little swim.

Nice are close to Columbia to be in nature. Wish there were more trails.

We love hiking there with our dogs

Great hike with large creek beds and swimming hole!

Great park with nice water features in the spring. Nice trails with light use by other users. Nice Camping spots. Great views of Missouri vallys!

A real nice place to hold your family events and its A nice location with a great surroundings like in the country will use it again in the future

One of my favorite natural places around Columbia. There are many different trailheads with several creek crossings.

Beautiful hiking area. Swimming hole is a great chill spot in the summer.

Great place just right outside of Columbia MO to hike, backpack and or camp.

This little gem is hiding so many natural wonders

Beautiful place for fall colors

Im surprised people dont take advantage of this resource more. Beautiful.

Beautiful, rugged, and less traffic than nearby rock bridge state park, but bring a map or gps.

Great place to hike and observe nature.

Alot to explore and alot of walking. Great for family adventures

Great free camping in columbia!

There were a lot of trees and branches down from the weather but it was obvious that clean up was in progress.

Turkey and deer. Nuff said.

AREA CAVES CLOSED... AREA CLOSED ... for most purposes due to concerns over a wildlife disease {as of October 2014}..White Nose Syndrome is carried or suffered by Bats, Deer, and Humans.We hope the area someday re-opens after wildlife diseases run thier course .

Nice place to rock

Its usually peaceful!

Lots of trails to explore. Stack some rocks. Play in the creek. Take a swing on the rope swing.

Wet.

Very muddy today

Delightful

A lovely place to hike

Awesome place

Great

Left natural except for parking.

Lots of neat places to explore. Trails are good, dont recommend walking the horse trails when wet.
