St. Joe State Park is located in the heart of the old "Lead Belt" of southeast Missouri where much of the nation's lead ore was extracted for more than a century. In 1972, the St. Joe Minerals Corp. ceased operations and subsequently donated the land to the state in 1976.

Today, the 8,238-acre St. Joe State Park is Missouri's third largest state park, with approximately 2,000 acres set aside for the state's premier off-road vehicle (ORV) riding area. Contact the park office for more information about the special rules and regulations that apply.

The park also features two campgrounds capable of accommodating campers with ORVs and horses, a hiking/bicycling trail, equestrian trails, picnic sites and lakes for swimming and fishing. Visitors can explore several thousand acres of woodlands or spend their days relaxing in the great outdoors.

The historic mill buildings, where St. Joe Minerals once processed the lead ore, still stand nearby and have been designated as Missouri Mines State Historic Site. There you can enjoy an excellent mining museum featuring a large collection of geological specimens and antique mining and milling equipment.

Thanks for the info. I heard that St. Joe park requires a flag, is this correct? Also, do they have a mx track located at or near the park?

[PowerJunkie]

What's the chances of finding a camping spot late Friday night or early Sat. morning over memorial weekend?

[PowerJunkie]

in missouri 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000 so dont think you can come in and find evan the crappiest spot. but let me look if you can drive a little there r some other state parks around there that you could stay at and drive to st.joe in the day.

[PowerJunkie]

ya you might be able to go to a statepark around st. joe like hawn or st. franices theres alot aruond there but state parks usaly fills up on evey weekend in the summer so ya go to that site and see if there any sites you can reserve or just go to st .joe and hope for the best and make sure you bring a map that has missouri state parks on it. and just go around to the the offices. wish you luck ask anything you want ill be happy to help.my email adress is bougab@aol.com
