Montauk State Park is praised for its beautiful scenery, excellent hiking, and trout fishing opportunities, complete with a hatchery and fish cleaning stations. Despite some fishing challenges this year, visitors appreciate the park's recovery efforts post-flooding and enjoy engaging activities like evening events and geocaching. The lodge's amenities, including a store and ice cream, enhance the overall family-friendly experience.

I’m reminded of the T shirt that says “God bless America but mostly Missouri. God has definitely blessed this park. It is a hiking an and trout fishing Mecca complete with a hatchery and plenty of fish cleaning stations. So beautiful and magnificent.

Fishing wasn’t the best this year but it was still a great trip. They’ve done an excellent job of getting it back together after the flooding and I cant wait to see what it looks like next year. As always, 5 stars.

Recently visited the Park brought our little Camper along this time
We enjoyed the weather we also entered the fishing derby but didn't catch a fish with a tag no problem it was a wonderful weekend we were fortunate to be able to hike and walk the trails heck we even found the two Geocaches in the park
It was an easy drive from Branson and back.
We will definitely be back to this park we enjoyed the ice cream cones that made the trip an awesome weekend

I love that they always have evening learning events for people that are also fun! This time was a grave yard tour that was interesting. The park is always well kept. Fishing is great and the lodge's ice cream is always a must!

My fav trout park in MO. Not as crazy as Bennett. Easy access to fishing. Nice places to fish. The lodge store and restaurant are always fun. Great family time.
Tip: if you want to learn how to catch a trout go to the lodge and ask the guys and gals there. Or if you are really a newbie just buy the “Montauk special” lure and you should have good luck.
