Outdoor Adventures

If you believe the best memories are made outdoors, then you’ll love exploring Fulton and Callaway County.

A peaceful lake with green trees in the background, surrounded by greenery and plants in the foreground, under a partly cloudy sky.

Our beautiful landscapes and wide-open spaces invite you to get outside and experience the natural side of mid-Missouri.

Fulton is surrounded by scenic trails that are perfect for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Whether you’re looking for a quick stroll or a challenging route through wooded hills, there are plenty of ways to lace up your shoes or saddle up and explore.

For those who love the water, Callaway County offers plenty of opportunities for fishing, boating, and kayaking. Spend a quiet morning casting your line at a nearby lake, or plan a fun afternoon paddling down the river.

Golfers will also find plenty to enjoy here. Our local courses combine challenging fairways with the natural beauty of Missouri’s countryside, making each round as relaxing as it is rewarding.

No matter how you choose to enjoy the outdoors, Callaway County makes it easy to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories. From peaceful picnics and camping weekends to active days spent on the trails or the water, Fulton is the perfect place for outdoor recreation.
