Cuivre River State Park is a public recreation area covering more than 6,400 acres (2,600 ha) northeast of the city of Troy in the Lincoln Hills region of northeastern Missouri, United States. The state park's rugged landscapes range from native grasslands and savannas to limestone bluffs overlooking forested hills. The park offers an extensive system of hiking trails plus swimming and camping facilities and is managed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.[5] It encompasses the Lincoln Hills Natural Area (1872 acres)[6] and two designated wild areas: Big Sugar Creek (1675 acres) and Northwoods (1082 acres).[7][8]
