Fish, hike or picnic at the scenic state parks

If you want to escape from the hustle bustle of your daily life for a relaxing time, there is nothing like a natural place. The tranquility and natural beauty of a place acts as a stress reliever for your system and it is not even expensive. And if you want to enjoy nature, the best option is to visit a state park. You can just spend your time relaxing at these scenic places. If you are looking for healthier alternatives to gym, go hiking or explore the area by foot. There are many recreational activities, from which you can select any. This is the best thing in a state park. Springfield is home to many wonderful state parks of which the following are most popular:

In Carthage, MO, the main attraction is a historic 7.4-acre tract, which was the site of a famous 12-hour battle of 1861, July 5. The Battle of Carthage State Historical Site is still kept at the same condition as it was after the battle.  The park is situated at Truman, Lamar.

Bennet Springs State Park is a popular destination for fishing and canoeing. Go for a 7-mile walk through a natural tunnel or take a trail for walking. Whatever you do, this place will help u relax.

Big Sugar Creek State Park is known for its unusual animals and fishes like the Neosho orangethroat darter. The scenic hillside with the forests provides complete solitude. The park is in southwest Missouri, near northeast of Pineville in McDonald County.

The Stockton State Park is located on the S. Highway Dadeville, MO. This is a wonderful place with clear water, which is suitable for boating and fishing. You can hire personal watercrafts or even a houseboat from the marina. The park is also a favorite spot of photographers and bird watchers.

If trout fishing is what you are looking for, go to the Roaring River State Park in Cassville, MO. Feed the fish at the spring pool or tour the hatchery with your whole family. The park also has a store, a picnic area and a swimming pool.

Branson Mo is one of my favorite destinations for a family vacation and we go there quite frequently. I like it because it has something to offer for all family members, regardless of their age. It even has something for the really small kids, for instance there is a ride area with water rides for 3-5 years old children. Just walk down the strip and you’ll find the rides that I am talking about.

The water is not deep, only knee deep but most children think that is my deeper. There are also several miniature golf courses to play with. My kids just adore the small train they can ride through a skull on the strip.

Another great thing about Branson is the multitude of available shows, well over 200 of them. One of them that I liked a lot is the Red Skelton Show. I was always convinced that Red was on the stage, as he looks just like him and act like him.

Another favorite of mine is the Dixie Stampede show.

Another one that should not be missed is the Showboat Branson Belle. The only downside of it is that you have to walk a long way till you get to the boat, plus it is a very abrupt hill to climb down. Oh, and don’t forget the way back, which is even worse! However, the show on the boat compensates all as it is a great one and the food is excellent. I don’t like the fact that for some reason you are not allowed to take pictures.

However, I did take some pictures, because I wanted to capture these moments. Luckily, nobody said a thing. After all, we were on vacation.
