Among the top four in the nation-missouri is blessed with a jewel of a state parks system so much so that our state parks have been ranked in the top four parks systems in the nation on six occasions.but sadly, our 85+ state parks face a $200 million backlog in repairs to infrastructure like trails, roads, bridges and buildings. thats why mvc is working on ways to fund these badly-needed fixes, so our parks will continue to serve missouri citizens and wildlife, and retain their rightful place among the elite park systems in the nation.
