Robertsville State Park is a Meramec River access point

Robertsville State Park gives eastern Franklin County public Meramec River access, camping, fishing, boating, and a quiet farm-to-forest landscape.

Robertsville State Park gives Franklin County another Meramec River face. Missouri State Parks says the Meramec River and Calvey Creek border the park, and that the park includes a boat launch, fishing and boating access, trails, picnic areas, and campground space.

The local texture is different from the cave-and-bluff story at Meramec State Park. Robertsville is also a river-bottom and former-farm landscape, with hardwoods, clearings, and easy water access. For a resident or visitor, it is a reminder that Franklin County’s public river access is spread across several small places, not concentrated at one big destination. Use State Parks for current launch and park conditions.
