Magnolia Hollow puts Mississippi River bluffs on the county map
Magnolia Hollow Conservation Area gives Ste. Genevieve County an MDC-managed bluff, creek, and Mississippi River overlook landscape north of town.
Magnolia Hollow Conservation Area shows a different Ste. Genevieve County than the historic district. Missouri Department of Conservation places it 10 miles north of Ste. Genevieve along the Mississippi River.
MDC describes the area as rugged bluff country bordered by Establishment Creek and Schmidt’s Island, with steep bluffs, scenic river views, mixed hardwoods, and cedar glades. The Mississippi edge here is not flat bottomland.
For a hiker, hunter, birder, or newcomer learning the county, the official MDC area page carries the location, allowed public uses, and current rules. Ste. Genevieve County is French colonial town, limestone and cement country, and also bluff-and-creek public land above the river.
