Show off! 
While a few of Missouri state parks have water available, most of our parks don't turn the water on until April 1st.
Have fun, I'm green with envy.

Jealous, jealous, jealous!!! We won't be able to get out until Easter weekend. We have craft shows the next 3 weekends. And the state park we were thinking about going to on the 24th of March when we're out of town for a craft show doesn't open up until May!! Ridiculous.
