Review:

Myron and Sonya Glassberg Family Conservation Area, opened in 2012, is a 429-acre protected area in northwestern Jefferson County, Missouri, located between the town of Eureka and the Pacific. The land for the park was donated by the Myron and Sonya Glassberg Family and the Forest Legacy Program run by the U.S. Forest Service. The park was established to protect the water quality of LaBarque Creek, one of the highest quality water streams in the St. Louis area. The stream is home to more than 42 species of fish. There is an easy three- mile loop hiking trail and a half-mile trail around the Buder Lake. The lake is open to fishing. There is a lovely overlook above the Meramec River that offers a wonderful view of the area. There are five more ponds, but they have no fish. One of the most prominent features in the park is a limestone monument designed by Gail Cassilly, dedicated to the Glassberg family. No horses, bikes, cars or camping are allowed in the park.
