Discover Farmington

Let's Go On An Outside Adventure! Surrounded by nine of Missouri’s most scenic state parks, challenging golf courses, an extreme off-road recreation area, hiking trails, and 15 award-winning vineyards and wineries, Farmington is a perfect destination for an extended weekend getaway.

Other than camping and off-roading the nearby state parks (Hawn, St. Joe, and St. Francois) also offer hiking, fishing, kayaking, swimming, horse-back riding, and biking. Farmington has amazing hiking trails nearby. The best way to experience the parks is on its trails, which range from a short walk to an overlook area to an almost 10-mile-long backpacking trail. Currently, while these parks and historic sites are open for day-use, capacity will be monitored closely in order to prevent overcrowding.

Hills of stately pine and oak trees, sandy-bottom streams and sandstone canyons and cliffs create one of the most significant and scenic landscapes in Missouri at Hawn State Park. Located in western Ste. Genevieve County, the 4,956-acre park offers a special experience for anyone wanting to enjoy the splendor of nature. The forested ridges and cool hollows of St. Francois State Park offer visitors a retreat from everyday life. Three hiking trails, including one that allows equestrian access, wind through the wooded hills and glades of the Coonville Creek Wild Area. Easy access to the Big River makes St. Francois State Park ideal for canoeing and floating  Visit St. Joe State Park and rent a kayak for the day or bring your own.
