Hawn State Park sits in western Ste. Genevieve County
Hawn State Park gives Ste. Genevieve County a different outdoor identity than the riverfront historic district. Missouri State Parks says the park is in western Ste. Genevieve County, with pine and oak hills, sandy-bottom streams, sandstone canyons and cliffs, trails, camping, and picnic areas.
For a resident, buyer, or visitor, that means park questions should start with Missouri State Parks, not the county courthouse. Trail maps, advisories, camping rules, accessibility notes, and park status are state-park sources.
It also helps explain the county map. Ste. Genevieve is not only the Mississippi River town and French colonial district. The western part of the county includes a state-park landscape of creeks, sandstone, and wooded hills.
