Wilson's Creek National Park - Not Just A Walk In The Park

Wilson's Creek National Battlefield

Springfield Missouri Attractions - Springfield Missouri Real Estate

Springfield Mo is loaded with wonderful attractions that draw newcomers and visitors. Among one of the great parks is Wilson's Creek National Park.

Hubby on the trike

This was the first weekend we didn't work real estate since the first of the year. Perfect timing, with such a beautiful day. Jumping on our trike, my chauffeur (my hubby) and I decided we needed more photos of the Springfield and surrounding areas. Wilson's Creek National Park was our first stop.

Wilson's Creek Visitors Center

Located 10 miles Southwest of Springfield, the Battle of Wilson's Creek, was fought on August 10, 1861. Wilson's Creek was the first major Civil War battle fought west of the Mississippi River. Today, it is a drive thru park with 5 walking trails, a 7 mile trail for horses, driving tour of the battlefield for cars, bicycles, and hiking trails.

Picnic areas at Wilson's Creek

Come join in the fun, bring your lunch and enjoy this beautiful park. Picnic areas are scattered throughout the park.

The National Park Service manages and operates the park today. See a schedule of events and driving directions.

Jumping back on the trike, off we went to our next stop...... Fantastic Caverns.

Kay -

I've never been to Wilson's Creek - my daughter's 5th grade class field trip is to the Battlefield next week. I can't wait! I kid her that it's "Mom's field trip." Your post makes me even more excited to see the Park.

Thanks Debbie. We were on a mission to get photos. Next time we'll take time to smell the roses too. Thanks for posting. Take sunscreen and a great lunch, lots of water. There's so much to see.
