Rudolf Bennitt Conservation Area

This conservation area contains 3,515 acres at the junction of Boone, Howard and Randolph counties. The gentle, rolling terrain is 75 percent forested. Fields of native warm-season grasses and row crops are scattered throughout the forest.

The 48-acre lake has an ADA-accessible boat ramp, fishing dock and restroom. Hikers, bikers and equestrians should check out the 12.5 mile Moniteau Wilderness Trail. There are also 24 primitive campsites on the area.
