About Platte Falls Conservation Area
Platte Falls Conservation Area is in Platte County off I-29 near Platte City. Visitors can access the south side of the area by heading east 0.6 mile on Route HH (Platte City exit). To reach the north side of the area, take MO-371 exit off I-29, travel northeast on Elm Grove Road about 1.5 miles, then east on Sharps Station Road 1.6 miles and south on Settle Station Road 0.5 mile.

This area contains forest, cropland, old fields, and pasture. Facilities/features: boat ramps, pavilions, shotgun and archery ranges, fishable ponds (two acres total), and permanent stream (Platte River).

The Conservation Department purchased Platte Falls Wildlife Management Area in 1980 with funds from the 1/8 of 1% Design for Conservation sales tax. The 2,366-acre area includes 890 acres of bottomland and upland timber, 700 acres of agricultural lands, and 350 acres of upland hay and pasture. The remainder is composed of old fields and regenerating bottomland forest.

Hunting, fishing, hiking, canoeing, and birdwatching are popular here, and a 9.1-mile unchannelized stretch of the Platte River flowing through the area allows many river-oriented activities and recreations.

The area has an archery sight-in range, as well as a shotgun range. Firearms firing single projectiles are prohibited on the shotgun range. From Platte Falls Conservation Area Web Site
