Sac-Osage Roadside Park, Missouri, USA

West of the town of Osceola in west central Missouri, along State Highway 82 is situated the Sac-Osage Roadside Park. It is located at the confluence of the Sac and Osage Rivers. One of my First Cousins once lived very nearby and I visited the park several times over the years. It is a pretty little spot, very quiet, and nice for contemplation and reflection. Herewith a few photos of the location, taken on my several visits.

Apparently I thought more of this location than anyone else. Oh, well.

You're very welcome. I like to share. How did you come across this so long after it was posted?

We were looking for the address so we googled it. Daddy passed last year so we couldn’t ask him sadly

I probably won't be back there again. My cousin has passed and I no longer visit Osceola.
