Wet a line at one of the Midwest’s premier trout-fishing destinations at Montauk State Park. Located an easy ride from St. Louis, the park’s waters are stocked each night from an on-site hatchery. Want more than day of fishing? Stay overnight at the park’s motel, campground or cabins. Want to do something other than fish? Montauk State Park’s hiking trails will take you in and around the scenic Pigeon Creek basin.

We were traveling in our RV through the lower half of MO and decided to stay at some of the state parks we had never been to. The park is wonderful with each site having electricity and blacktop level pads. This was our first time trout fishing. It was fun to watch the teenagers, both boys and girls, catch fish. The dining hall serve us a yummy breakfast. We took our bikes on a trail that lead to the headwaters of the Current River. We will enjoying going back in the very near future.

With views of the scenic Current River and a history as a corporate retreat, Current River State Park offers a peaceful haven for today’s visitor. The park is built around the former retreat of the Alton Box Board Co. of Alton, Ill. Constructed during the late 1930s and early 1940s, the Alton Club buildings themselves reflect the rustic architectural style used by the National Park Service in the early part of the 20th century. Today’s visitors to Current River State Park can enjoy hiking trails, two lakes and picnic sites. Park staff provides tours of the historic Alton Club buildings and explains the park’s history.
