This is one of the greatest gems in Missouri! One of my favorite spots for birding in the country! Blessed that it's in our own backyard!

I trail run at Shaw Nature Reserve quite frequently. It is one of my favorite places to run, walk and sometimes just sit. Beautifully maintained trails and roads. So many different flowers, trees, ponds, streams and plants. I could spend a day there and still not see everything. It is a great treasure.

Beautiful during winter (but freezing when we went); wear hiking boots as the trails can get a bit rugged.
