Scrivner Road Conservation Area shows Cole County beyond the Capitol
MDC places Scrivner Road Conservation Area south of Russellville, with Winegar Lake, South Moreau Creek frontage, trails, wildlife management, and public recreation.
Scrivner Road Conservation Area is useful Cole County color because it pulls the page away from a Capitol-only identity. The Missouri Department of Conservation places the area about three miles south of Russellville.
MDC describes a 919-acre site with Winegar Lake and more than two miles of South Moreau Creek frontage. It also describes a former cattle farm now managed for wildlife and public recreation.
For a resident or visitor, this is the official source to check for area maps, trail rules, range rules, fishing regulations, and access details. For a newcomer, the place itself is the point: Cole County includes state offices and river bluffs, but it also reaches into Moreau Creek country, small towns, farms, public conservation land, and rural roads.
