Prairie Lake is a great fishing spot, but a hole in the middle of the lake will eventually kill it

Questions & Answers

Are there any natural springs to drink from here?

Ryan Carter | Oct 24, 2021
Charlie keeven | Nov 28, 2021

No. The Missouri River and that is not drinkable.

can you swim in the river?

Cindy Garcia | Oct 24, 2020
Chase Lehmann | Oct 24, 2020

As far as I know, it's not against the rules but it's a bad idea. I don't like swimming in rivers like the Missouri because you never know what kind of under currents there are.

Can you squirrel hunt in Weldon Springs?

Kevin Pilgrim | Oct 25, 2019
Chase Lehmann | Oct 24, 2020

Squirrel hunting is allowed here. I've been going for the past week or so since Howell Island is inaccessible due to the river being too high.

Can you camp here?

Camping is not permitted in any conservation, you can day hike the area though. Of course no fires but backpacking stove's are allowed if you want to cook food or a heat a drink. I suggest you check out the ALLTRAILS app which can let you see other trails nearby where your allowed to do some backpacking/ dispersed camping/stealth camping whatever you wish to call it. Also inside any National Park you can camp off trail almost anywhere as long as 100 feet away from trail, parking, paid campsites and/or water sources. Not to mention inside national parks its legal to collect wood and have campfires{Free Wood). Where most state parks and areas you can possibly get away with it but technically isn't permitted and may cause a meet with a ranger and maybe along with fine. So do some research because in my opinion if you had to ask that question you probably shouldn't be in the woods overnight alone anyways. P.S. - Google Maps can not function the same as Google Search
