We are from Minnesota, the weather is good in autumn, and we went to Missouri. We went to Lower Hatunka State Park, which is one of the favorite parks we have been to. The castle and other ruins are really cool, and there are scenic walks and views throughout the park. There are many paved/climbed hiking trails and rugged natural trails in the park. The natural bridge is beautiful, and the hiking on the island is also cool. We stayed in this park all day, and may stay here longer.

This park was an awesome stop that turned into an entire afternoon! My family enjoyed hiking down to see the natural bridge
The scenery is very nice, there are also certain rides inside
Each park has one or two attractions that you can take out of its own, but the story of the mountain and the lake is a beautiful story shared by these parks. A simple summary is the different combinations of rugged mountains, colorful water, and tall pine and fir.
