In the early 1900s, the area that’s now Castlewood State Park was a popular retreat for partying St. Louisans. The dance clubs are gone, but the winding Meramec River and the lush valley that surrounds it remain.

Castlewood is a manufacturer of custom wood range hoods and decorative wood products including floating shelves, corbels, moldings and more.

Castlewood SP — on the Meramec River near St. Louis — features dramatic river bluffs and the ruins of a 1920s resort. The park’s limestone bluffs, river, and forest support bald eagles, great blue herons, and white-tailed deer.

Castlewood State Park has more than thirty miles of hiking and biking trails, eleven of which are open to horseback riders. Experience the feel of a mature floodplain forest with its silver maple, box elder, black willow, white ash, sycamore, slippery elm, and hackberry.

Between 1915 and 1940, thousands of St. Louis residents traveled by train each weekend to the Castlewood area for water fun, dancing and clubhouse partying. Today, the 1,779-acre Castlewood State Park preserves the history of the former resort.

Castlewood State Park truly offers an amazing escape into nature, with its stunning views, diverse wildlife, and numerous activities. Whether you are visiting alone, with family, or friends, there is always something to enjoy.
