Description: Johnson Shut-Ins is a popular state park located in southeastern Missouri along the East Fork Black River. Known for its natural rock formations, the park features unique, water-carved channels and pools, called "shut-ins," where the river flows through volcanic rock, creating natural water slides and swimming areas. This makes it a favorite destination for swimming, wading, and exploring the rocky terrain. In addition to the shut-ins, the park offers hiking trails, camping sites, and scenic views, with opportunities to learn about the area’s geology and ecology. The park is a great spot for families and nature enthusiasts looking for a blend of adventure and relaxation.
