#1 Northeast Platte City

Platte Falls Conservation Area in Platte City is a spectacular 2,366-acre area where you can bring your pup for a trail walk through the woods and along the nine miles of river running through the park. This is a diverse landscape, covering both marshland and forest, and there is always plenty of wildlife to spot, including otters, ducks and rabbits. For this reason, keep your pup leashed for his safety and that of the local fauna. The river offers many aquatic activities as well, and your water pup will love a little float down the river on board a canoe or boat with you! There is plenty of parking and restroom facilities here, but bring everything you need for the day, such as water, food, cleanup bags, bug spray and sunscreen.

For the serious walkers, there is a 5k grass cross country trail with mileage markers every half mile to really get those legs moving. Fishing is permitted in the pond, and a playground will keep the kids occupied as well. Dogs are permitted here, but keep your pet leashed at Platte Ridge Park and always clean up any mess he leaves behind.

Eight trails offer scenic views of the forest and Missouri River, varying in difficulty from the easy 0.2 mile Bear Creek Trail, to the more rugged 1.25-mile West Ridge Trail. For a challenge, take on the much longer 3.25 Mile Weston Bluffs Trail. Picnic areas are dotted throughout the park for when you are both ready for a little rest.
