Carthage Municipal Park

The Missouri Department of Conservation and the City of Carthage jointly administer Kellogg Lake, a 25-acre Community Assistance Program lake.

The Battle of Carthage State Historic Site, located in Carthage, Missouri, is a state-owned property. The 7.4-acre site retains one of the skirmish locations from the Battle of Carthage, one of the first conflicts of the American Civil War, which took place in 1861.

Vision Carthage, in conjunction with the City of Carthage, the Carthage Water & Electric Plant, the Parks Department, and the Carthage Police Department, is pleased to announce a partnership for the renovation of two city parking lots located at 6th and Main and 5th and Grant Streets.

The route is available all year and is a great place to come at any time. Dogs are allowed, but they must be kept on a leash. The Devil's Well route leads to a sinkhole via a spiral stairway.

Garth Nature Area's 3-acre dog park is completely enclosed and has a pond and picnic tables.

There are paved and unpaved pathways, as well as overlook views of the Missouri River, at this park with a campground.
