We love exploring the Devil's Icebox Cave and the Sinkhole short trail. There are parts on the trail that are easily accessible by following the wood-planked walkway, but there are also "off the beaten path" trails and spots to ride your bike. Rock Bridge State Park is absolutely beautiful and is a "Must Visit" outdoor spot in Columbia, MO!

We appreciated having the bathrooms and bath house nearby although it would've been nice if they were cleaned more frequently. There is a really nice sand/pebble beach that you have access to leisurely enjoy the Meramec River. People brought down shade tents, lounge chairs, inner tubes, RC boats and it was a good day in the river. There are multiple trails of various lengths that you can enjoy while at the park as well as multiple caves. We enjoyed a guided tour of Fisher Cave while we were there that was well worth it. There is also a camp store and a small café on site with basic camping essentials, souvenirs, food items, ice, etc. Overall we had a great time and we look forward to coming back again in the future!

If you have limited mobility the Whitmere wildflower garden is a good place to start. The parking lot is loose, small gravel and the path is a mix of packed and small loose gravel.

Disabled folks can enjoy the view from the paved road and there are a few spots that are disabled accessible to enjoy nature up close. You can see quite a bit from your vehicle, where speed limits are 15 mph. Plan about 90 mins to 2 hours if you are doing the easier walks. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and bug spray.
