Major disappointment. Planned on spending a whole day here and spent 10 minutes. The roads were closed for the season and the lady at the desk neglected to tell us this, or give us any information about the reserve even when I asked she just handed me a map. We drove around and looked for something that looked appealing and ended up leaving.

We love Shaw Nature Reserve!!! There are so many different areas to explore. As a mom, I really appreciate the wonderful children's nature classroom. Trails are well maintained. A real gem to explore in the St. Louis area.
