Bee Tree Park

Bee Tree Park is very lovely. This was my first time at the park. It was a crisp fall day, and the park seemed quit. There were many families getting pictures taken. My dog enjoyed the trails and lake. It was nice to enjoy a picnic over looking the lake. I am now interested in having my wedding by the museum next to the fountain.

Very nice park, especially if you live way south like I do. Good sized playground and plenty of open space for walking and playing. They also have a decent sized lake for fishing, but I haven’t fished there yet so no reviews on quality.

Very beautiful park! Had my wedding here last August by the house and the fountain overlooking the bluffs. The house was beautiful in the pictures. You do not get to go inside the house, it’s outside only. Loved the views of the river. Can’t say much about the rest of the park since we were mainly at this part but it looked like it had a cute playground and a nice lake.

This is such a great park!
The trails are great and the views of the Mississippi River are amazing.
If you walk down the trail past the main overlook spot you will find tons of small offshoots from the main trail that lead to nice rocks to sit on and look at the river. Pretty much the best thing ever.
The lake here is pretty nice too and has a boat ramp.
Also, there is apparently an old castle somewhere in the woods on the Ameren UE property adjacent to the park. I haven’t checked it out, though.

Bee Tree park is a staple in Oakville. I like bringing the family dogs for walks here. They offer a nice playground, walking trails, and a pond for fishing. During wedding and prom season, you’ll find gussied up people posing for pictures in front of the cool brick building/​house. The park is a little difficult to find if you’re not familiar with the area. They offer special events, including weddings.

This oft forgotten south county park jewel has one of the best park views in town. The park is located on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. I love coming here to sit on a bench and read and occasionally get lost in the view when my book isn’t holding my interest. There are ton of pavillions, perfect for picnicking (they can be reserved through the county park service). Some of the pavillions have electrical outlets and bbq pits included. It makes for a nice situation for any family picnic. There is a hiking trail, but it’s not super long and not incredibly challenging. It is, however, perfect, for a leisurely hike with fantastic views of the river at random turns. Also, a fully stocked lake that, with appropriate permit, allows for public fishing round out the features of this park.
The park isn’t huge, it doesn’t offer a lot of paths or have a ton of sports fields, but it’s great for a picnic or for a family gathering.
