Dogwood Canyon Nature Park in Lampe, MO

This place is amazing. Our guide Debbie make the trip fun, educational and provided excellent customer service. Well worth your time.

We loved this park! Beautiful grounds including several waterfalls. We took the two hour tram ride, which was an extra fee, but we’ll worth it. We saw bison, elk, longhorns, an eagle and lots of hungry trout. One of the elk even came up to us to investigate. Our tram guide was Joe and his knowledge and personality were fantastic. He stopped several times along the way to point out features and tell historical stories. We ate at the restaurant, the bison burgers and elk soup were very good! There are several buildings to explore including a treehouse, church and conservation area. You can also rent bikes which I would recommend because the grounds are quite extensive.

This is such a fantastic place! It was even better than I anticipated. There are so many gorgeous views of waterfalls, rock formations along the water, and wildlife. We especially enjoyed seeing the elk and bison. During our tram ride, elk came right up to our tram. I highly recommend the 2 hour tram ride because it is the only way to see the elk and bison and gives you the opportunity to see all of the park without having to walk 2 1/2 miles one way. Our tram guide was great! She was very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to do all she could to insure we had a good time. I'm so glad they don't allow vehicles inside the park except for the trams because it helps the park remain very natural, beautiful and quiet. We didn't take advantage of them but there are many kinds of tours available in addition to guided fishing and horseback rides at a very reasonable price. This place is open year round and the trams run all yearl

We had a great experience at Dogwood Canyon. We particularly enjoyed the tram ride with Angela our guide. She shared in depth knowledge and had such positive energy. The highlight was my selfie with Princess the Elk.

It is very pretty but I did not find anywhere that you could not drive through and enjoy the area on your own. We read that it was pet friendly, and it is, except the tram. Although that's understandable, that's 2 hours in the car for my shihtzus. And again, no option to drive through on our own with them. It would have been a 12 mile walk round trip for us. Please put somewhere on your website that this entire area us closed off to vehicles.
