#Adventure This place is called Montauk State Park in Salem MO. What makes this place special is all the fun you can have while visiting. You can camp, hike, fish, or just have a nice picnic with your significant other. In this photo I tried to capture the beauty of the area, and show an activity that you can do here. I like this place cause it is close to home.
Echo Bluff is Missouri's newest State Park.

8.8/10 Excellent! (159 reviews)
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The only negative i had during my stay was the overwhelmingly strong scent of the carpet cleaner used in the hallway. It was so strong it would butn your nose. I did not smell it anywhere else like that. Only my floor.

8/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
Good value for an overnight stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel is older and some of the exterior door locks were broken, but was clean and felt safe. We did discover in the morning that the refrigerator in our room was broken and had to throw out our food from the night before.

Just a quiet little town!

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Salem's my hometown, I can't imagine anyone going there for any reason other than a float trip or visiting family. There is absolutely nothing to do there.

4/5 - Good

We only went to Salem HS for a volleyball tournament. It was a welcoming environment and easy to get to from this holtel!

We visited Montauk state park, Alley Springs, Rocky Falls and did rafting thru Jadwin Canoe Rental (this vendor is very affordable and provided good service. I highly recommend)
