Lost Hill Park is a natural resource park boasting fields, wooded areas, with water features along the South Dry Sac River. There are plenty of shallow spots that are perfect for wading and splashing on hot summer days! The park covers 60 acres and has 2.2 miles of paved trails leading to Truman Elementary School via the Fulbright Spring Greenway.  Things to see include the historic white farmhouse, rock chicken barn, natural bridges, and caves. Tours are offered by the Park Board

There are times that the paths are covered with moving water from the river - use caution when crossing!
