From Kansas City: Crowder State Park is approximately 90 minutes from Liberty. Take I-35 north about 57 miles to Exit 61. Travel east on Hwy. 69/6. Turn north/left onto Hwy. 146, about two miles west of Trenton. Follow Hwy. 146 about one mile then turn right onto Hwy. 128 to enter the state park.
This was amazing it has nice streams lakes a river or two a beautiful hiking trail through forest. Be warned though it had ticks that carry Lyme disease and it often has rattlesnakes too and can be risky and dangerous it's quite easy to walk and has an abandoned building that's not too risky to explore and an old house foundation with a fireplace and chimney all still there by the road river and overpass. Hope all this info helps.
Our trip was delightful. Bathrooms were very clean. Well supplied. Camp sites were perfect and area was very well taken care of. David the park ranger was amazing and friendly. extremely helpful and always making rounds.
trails were the best I've ever seen. couldn't have asked for more.
Clean and well taken care of. Trails are from easy to difficult. The camp ground has shaded lots and very clean bath houses.
Nice friendly and safe campground, great place for families. Lots of kids playing. The gates close after 10:30, and there's a park ranger that patrols. The showers and restrooms were clean and well maintained.
