Picking Wildflowers, Wild Berries and Hunting Mushrooms in Missouri

Guests are more than welcome to pick wild berries, hunt mushrooms and collect wildflowers from ArdPark property. In the All American and The Pines you will always find a flower vase for displaying wildflowers you pick. We do not allow berries or flowers to be dug up or removed and we also ask that guests don't pick or cut domestic flowers that are planted around the cabins.

The Mark Twain National Forest allows berry and nut gathering without a permit, as long as they are collected or consummed for personal use only. Watercress may also be picked from national forest land for personal use without a permit.
