Montauk State Park Fishing Spring 2019

Trip Report - Montauk State Park Fishing Spring 2019

I go fishing with my girlfriend Sara and her father Doug for three days and two nights at Montauk State Park, in South Central Missouri.

Montauk State Park is a public recreation area occupying nearly 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) at the headwaters of the Current River, fifteen miles southwest of Salem, Missouri. The state park contains a fish hatchery and is noted for its rainbow and brown trout angling. It was acquired in 1926.

 The park has several natural springs including Montauk Spring with a daily average flow of 53 million gallons of water. - Wikipedia

"Montauk State Park preserves a shady green retreat that offers visitors plenty of opportunities for fun, whether it is fishing, camping, hiking, picnicking or just relaxing with friends and family.

For visitors wanting to spend the night, the park offers a variety of choices, including a modern campground, rental cabins and motel rooms. The modern dining lodge will satisfy any appetite" - MO State Parks Website.

We camp in our tent for two nights, and finish up by breaking camp in a rain shower.

Thanks again to Doug for making this trip a memorable one as always. Your hospitality is unmatched.
