Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The 280-acre Hickory Canyons Natural Area in Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri, is owned by the L-A-D Foundation and managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation. It features a number of box canyons and sandstone cliffs. Hickory Canyons, especially their cool, moist cliff faces, provide home to a number of unique plant communities including partridge berry, various fern species and club mosses. In the canyon bottoms grow pawpaw, spicebush, deciduous holly and sedges as well as mesic sandstone forest, rare in Missouri. Mesic forest is dominated by white oak, northern red oak and sugar maple. There are two short hiking trails that cross the area and offer perfect views of the area's distinctive bluffs and canyons.
