This more than 200-mile long park begins at Clinton. The centerpiece of the park is the Katy Trail, which goes to several trailheads along the way and for part of its length merges with the Lewis and Clark Trail. The trail and the state park it goes through includes many woodland and grassland regions. Horses, bicycles, and pedestrians are allowed.
Truman Reservoir
This reservoir begins southeast of Clinton and continues for many miles to a dam near Warsaw. The terrain around the reservoir is more varied than much of western Missouri's terrain, since it is the beginning of the Ozarks region. There is also a Truman Lake State Park toward the western side of the reservoir near the town of Warsaw.
Around the downtown area are a few buildings owned by the Henry County Historical Society. Some of the downtown is on Franklin Street. In the downtown part of the city is the town square, at the center of which is the Henry County Courthouse.
This is a golf course area of decent size with a main lake and some woodland areas. However, it is not open to the general public and the country club considers itself to be "semi-private".
Museum and cultural center

The Conservation Area may be used by campers, hunters, and fishermen. There are parking areas scattered around the conservation region.
