Hawn State Park is a public recreation area located 14 miles (23 km) southwest of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.[5] The state park's nearly 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) include three state-designated natural areas: Pickle Creek, LaMotte Sandstone Barrens, and Botkins Pine Woods. Orchid Valley is also considered part of Hawn State Park, but is not connected to the rest of the park and is not open to the public.[6]
