Introduction
Just an hour from Kansas City, between Warrensburg and Sedalia in Missouri off Highway 50, you can find Knob Noster State Park. They call this park “where the forest and prairies meet” because the amazing prairies of western Missouri are broken up by the clumps of trees that make up much of Missouri’s natural areas. The 3,934-acre gem got its name from an Indian legend that claims the two hills or “knobs” in the park are monuments to slain warriors and the settlers added the Latin word, noster, which means “our” to make it “our hill.”
Clearfork Creek meanders through the park, separating the landscape of hackberry, redbud, pawpaw, hickory, and oak trees and making the Pin Oak Slough Natural Area. This is an oxbow slough of about four acres that is home to an endangered flower, the pale green orchid among other flora and fauna. With almost 20 miles of trails, two lakes, the creek, RV campground, picnic areas, and playgrounds, there is something fun for everyone to enjoy here. The park also has an amphitheater which hosts programs throughout the season and a visitor center with a plethora of historical information and artifacts. Knob Noster State Park is a terrific place to have a family vacation, friendly get-together, or a romantic getaway for two.
