Busch Conservation Area is a major MDC layer in St. Charles County
August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area gives St. Charles County a large Missouri Department of Conservation layer close to suburban growth. MDC directions place the area in St. Charles County, reached from Interstate 64 by taking Highway 94 south to Route D and then west. The quick facts list 6,950.8 acres.
For residents and visitors, the useful point is agency clarity. Busch is MDC-managed public land, so area maps, hours, hunting, fishing, range, trail, and other use rules should be checked with MDC, not city hall or county parks. It also helps explain the Highway 94 corridor: in a county known for subdivisions, river towns, and fast road growth, a large conservation area still anchors public open space and outdoor access.
