Discover Hazelwood

Hazelwood combines active days outdoors with traces of local history and a variety of options for families. White Birch Park features an 18-hole disc golf course, where numerous trees serve as obstacles and a winding creek adds to the setting. Those looking to combine exercise and scenery will find notable trails in Hazelwood as well as opportunities for water activities, sports, and community events.

Nature and Trails Along the Missouri River

A particularly varied outing leads to the Saint Stanislaus Conservation Area. From Hazelwood, the entrance can be reached via Highway 370, Missouri Bottom Road, and Aubuchon Road. The conservation area offers a choice of different trail types: A steep trail leads up to the bluff and provides a broad view over the Missouri River floodplain. Another flat, straight trail runs through the fertile floodplain to Bryan Island Chute.

Historic Charbonier Bluff is also part of this landscape. A hiking trail in the Saint Stanislaus Conservation Area leads up to the bluff. The ruins of a Jesuit chapel, built above a Native American burial mound, remain on its crest. Depending on the pace you want for your day, you can choose a climb with a view or focus on a flat trail through the floodplain.

History to Discover

Hazelwood offers several specific points of interest for visitors interested in the development of the town. The Old Elm Grove School, also known as the Little Red Schoolhouse, dates to around 1852. On September 26, 1949, the Village of Hazelwood Board met for the first time at the Elm Grove Schoolhouse, now known as the Little Red Schoolhouse. The St. Cin House in Hazelwood dates from the 1850s. Together, these buildings bring different stages of local history to life without requiring you to focus your stay on a single theme.

Active and Relaxing Vacation Days

The BMX/skate park next to the Hazelwood Community Center provides sporting variety. It is a free outdoor skate park. The park is supposed to be open daily when weather conditions are suitable; exceptions are holidays when the Recreation Center is closed. At White Birch Park, the disc golf course is supposed to be open daily from sunrise to sunset. This information helps you combine active day plans with different interests without relying on a single activity.

The White Birch Bay Aquatic Center is open during the 2026 season. Hazelwood also hosts an annual Fishing Derby at Truman Park Pond. The Concert-&-Food-Truck evenings are part of the local summer tradition and feature concerts as well as food-truck offerings. When planning a vacation rental or vacation home, it can therefore be decisive whether you would rather prioritize trails and nature, sports facilities, water activities, or shared summer experiences.

Guidance for Your Accommodation Search

Hazelwood maintains 16 community parks covering a total of 159 acres. This underscores the variety of public open spaces but does not replace making a precise selection based on your personal day plans. If you are focusing on the Saint Stanislaus Conservation Area, you should take the different trail profiles and the described route into account when planning. For a culture-focused stay, the Little Red Schoolhouse, the St. Cin House, and Charbonier Bluff offer distinct themes. Those traveling with several generations or looking to combine different preferences can alternate between nature, history, the skate park, the Aquatic Center, and summer events.
