My husband's family has stayed at Weaver's for years for their fishing trips. I recently started to stay there with them. The cabins are clean, decently priced and the staff is extremely welcoming and kind. They are also pet friendly, which is a huge bonus! The tackle shop has pretty much everything you could want and their prices are comparable or better than others in the area. We always buy our mini jigs for Trout fishing here. The owner's like to act on feedback to improve the stay and experience of their visitors and customers. Weaver's is my go-to spot for fishing trips to Bennett Springs.

Stopped in Lebanon for a break as we were driving across Missouri. We were hoping to see some Route 66 sites and came across this park with its murals depicting the historic sites around town and the restored Camp Joy cabin. Enjoyed looking at them and reading a bit about the historic route and sites. Nice park with lots of green, a playground, and other amenities.

Overall Ratings

The valley that cradles Bennett Spring has created a place of peace and recreation that has welcomed generations of enthusiastic anglers. Bennett Spring State Park is one of Missouri’s earliest state parks and continues today to attract fishermen and nature lovers seeking to make new memories. More than 100 million gallons of clear, cool water gush from Bennett Spring each day and form a spring branch stocked daily with rainbow trout waiting for lucky fishermen. Fishing may be the main draw but the park also offers many other amenities such as a dining lodge, campgrounds, cabins and hiking trails. Whether you are a traditional fishing enthusiast or someone seeking a place to relax and refresh, Bennett Spring State Park has what you need to make every trip one to remember.

I think most people think of Bennett Springs as a great place to fish, but we absolutely loved hiking there. We did the Natural Tunnel Trail and while it was a lot longer to get to the tunnel than we initially thought, it was a beautiful hike. One side of the loop is much better marked than the other. One side was really overgrown but we figured it out. Definitely worth the hike out to the tunnel and you have to walk all the way through it to really understand how beautiful it is. This is not a heavily hiked trail - in the 5 hours it took us, we saw 18 people. Definitely take water and maybe even a couple of snacks.

I have stayed at NRO about 20 times since I was in high school (20 years ago). We've always had a great time here. This time we stayed in cabin #1, and it sleeps 16. There were 18 in our group, and I was concerned about not having enough room, but it was perfect. There was a perfect little spot for a blow up mattress. My bed wasn't comfortable at all, but doable for 2 nights. We brought some of our own towels, and I'm glad we did, we would have run out. In the summer, it gets pretty crazy on the weekends. I would not bring kids to float on this river on the weekend, unless you are ok with them seeing hundreds of drunk people (of all ages), and maybe the occasional set of boobs. We did see water patrol once monitoring on the river bank, but they didn't bother anybody. As long as you aren't fighting or being a complete moron, you will be fine. Saw a few poor people puking over the side of their boats. My suggestion...drink some water or a Gatorade after every few beers! If you are doing the 7 mile float and stop to hang out on the rock shores, expect it to take about 7 hours or so. We took 4 people that had never floated before, and they had a blast!

This nice museum is located at the library. Once you enter the building there is a lobby with signage directing you to either the library, the museum or a great gift shop filled with neat items. This attraction is not a quick stop. Plan on being here at least a couple of hours and enjoy all there is too see. The museum is filled with lots of Route 66 history and the gift shop is not your trinkity-type touristy stuff. They have nice quality back-to.nature souvenirs and the owner is incredibly hospitable. Can’t wait to come back to Missouri and visit here again. Highly recommend...and, there is no Admission fee to enter the Museum. There is a donation box, if you feel moved to help the local community.
