Highlights of Arcadia Valley
Arcadia Valley is located just 80 miles south of St. Louis and less than a half-hour drive from U.S. 67. Nestled among the St. Francois mountains of the Missouri Ozarks, the Valley continues to charm travelers with its beauty, quaint shops, delicious eateries, and delightful inns. Historic Arcadia Valley is drained by rushing mountain streams and is home to the cities of Arcadia, Ironton and Pilot Knob, all founded in the 1800s. Because of its elevation, clean air, and the rolling mountains which surround it, the Valley has been compared to the rolling mountains of New England.

Elephant Rocks State Park – Graniteville, MO
Near the highest mountains of Missouri, in Arcadia Valley, lie giants waiting to welcome their next visitor.
Elephant Rocks State Park is home to an assortment of truly unique granite boulders of mammoth proportion.
Dumbo, the largest elephant rock, stands twenty feet tall, thirty-five feet long, and weighs in at a massive six hundred and eighty tons.
The park offers places for everyone to explore. The playground and picnic areas create a convenient place for friends and family to gather and play.
Guests can climb, crawl, jump, and weave their way through the maze of boulders.
The one mile paved trail, with Braille placards along the way, opens Elephant Rocks and its history to guests of all abilities to enjoy.
The stones from the retired granite quarries, which date back to the mid 1800’s, traveled nationwide to adorn many of the nation’s most important buildings, paved historic Laclede’s Landing in nearby St. Louis, and make up the columns of the elegant Governor’s mansion in Jefferson City.
Visitors can rest in this serene setting while gazing upon the beauty of the landscape and the reflecting pools created in the sleeping quarries.
The journey of Missouri’s finest red granite began by train and you can still see a relic of the railroad by exploring the grand ruins of the Old Railroad Engine House.
This international destination allows visitors to climb atop these magnificent giants to gaze at the breath taking view of the beautiful Arcadia Valley region.
Whether you are exploring Elephant Rocks for its history, its adventures, its beauty, or its geology, this park is for you. All in all, Elephant Rocks State Park is a great place to go play on the rocks.
