About Bellefontaine Conservation Area
Take MO-367 south from I-270 approximately 0.5 mile to the entrance to the Missouri Veterans Home. Proceed east on the Veterans Home driveway to the entrance to the conservation area.

Bellefontaine Conservation Area is in north St. Louis County within the city of Bellefontaine Neighbors. The area is 133 acres in size and is situated in the southeast corner of the MO- 367/I-270 interchange. The area can be accessed from MO-367, about 0.5 mile south of I-270 via a driveway that is shared with the Missouri Veteran's Home.

This tract of land was previously owned by the Missouri Department of Mental Health and was transferred to the Conservation Department in 1995. The Conservation Department was interested in this property because it provided a unique opportunity for urban fishing and conservation-related educational facilities.

The area is open daily from sunrise until one-half hour after sunset. From Bellefontaine Conservation Area Website
