Meramec State Park
Meramec State Park is a state-owned, public recreation area located near Sullivan, Missouri, about 60 miles from St. Louis, along the Meramec River.〔 The park has diverse ecosystems such as hardwood forests and glades. There are over 40 caves located throughout the park, the geology of which is a mixture of limestone and dolomite. The most famous is Fisher Cave, located near the campgrounds. The park borders the Meramec Conservation Area.
==History==
The park was acquired by the state in 1927, then saw active development by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1933 and 1935. At that time, trails were laid out and numerous buildings constructed including a dining hall, recreation hall, concession building, and shelters.〔 Three surviving CCC-era structures were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985: the Meramec State Park Lookout House/Observation Tower,〔 the Meramec State Park Pump House,〔 and the Meramec State Park Shelter House.〔 In 1991, the Meramec State Park Beach Area Historic District was also added to the list.〔
In the late 1970s, as part of the Meramec Basin Project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began work on a dam in the park to impound the river. The resulting reservoir would have permanently flooded much of the park and imperiled many different species, including the endangered Indiana bat. However, in response to direct citizen action against the dam, the project was halted, marking a victory for the environmental movement.〔
