About Meramec Conservation Area
From I-44 near Sullivan, take MO-185 south 5 miles to the area sign. This area is mainly forest. Facilities/features: viewing deck and a permanent stream (Meramec River).

Meramec Conservation Area is in Franklin County. Much of the land for the forest was purchased by the state between 1925 and 1930. In 1980, 166 additional acres were donated by Dorothy Hill in memory of Arthur Heyne. Sheer cliffs along the Meramec River form the western border of the area, affording a scenic view of the river valley and surrounding hills. The area contains six caves, a great blue heron rookery, abundant wildlife, and varying forest types, including plantations established on the site by the first state nursery. Other interesting attractions include the Reedville town site, a former CCC camp, Lone Hill Lookout Tower, and old mines. From Meramec Conservation Area web site
