Northeast Missouri at a Glance
The Northeastern part of Missouri
features a variety of outdoor activities to be enjoyed by visitors, including
vineyards, hiking trails, picnic spots and more. The Big
Creek and Sugar
Creek State Conservation Areas near Kirksville
are known for the fishing opportunities available. Long
Branch Lake is a haven for water sports enthusiasts and can be found near
Macon, also home to the Maize
Maze, a six-acre cornfield that includes six different mazes. The town of
Hannibal
is also found in Northeast Missouri and features American author Mark
Twain's boyhood home, open to the curious for self-guided tours. Hannibal
was also the birthplace
of Molly Brown, perhaps the most recognizable survivor of the Titanic. Nearby
Moberly
invites race fans to enjoy autosports every Saturday night from April to October
at 24
Raceway. World War II General Omar Bradley is also feted in Moberly with
a statue and granite plaza at Veterans Memorial Park.
