Catch-and-release trout season remains closed until park reopens
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, DEC. 5, 2024 – Montauk State Park will be closed to guests until at least Feb. 21, 2025. Park crews are actively assessing safety concerns and addressing damage to park infrastructure caused by early November flooding. The extent of the destruction and the work required to reopen the park is substantial.
While the park remains closed to the public, the Missouri Department of Conservation announced that winter catch-and-release trout season at Montauk State Park has also been cancelled. Winter catch-and-release trout season remains open at Roaring River and Bennett Spring state parks and Maramec Spring Park.
When heavy equipment use is complete, opportunities for volunteer cleanup efforts may become available. If you are interested in helping, please email dspvolunteercoordinator@dnr.mo.gov. Montauk State Park is located at 345 State Road 6670 in Salem.
