Current River State Park is a public recreation area occupying more than 1,200 acres (490 ha) of land along the Current River north of Eminence in Newton Township, Shannon County, Missouri. The state park consists of land and buildings originally developed as the Alton Club, a corporate retreat used in the 1930s and 1940s by the Alton Box Board Company of Alton, Illinois.[4] Rustic buildings associated with the Alton Club were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[5]
