About

Shawnee Bend Park sits on the shores of Harry S. Truman Lake in the hills of western Missouri. Visitors enjoy fishing, hunting, swimming, and boating. The park offers two large group picnic shelters, flush and pit toilets, playgrounds, a swimming beach, a boat ramp, and drinking water. The surrounding area features mature hardwoods, cedar trees, and an abundance of wildlife, including whitetail deer, turkey, hawks, ospreys, eagles, and water birds. The lake is home to various fish species, including crappie, bass, walleye, paddlefish, blue and channel catfish. The 950 miles of shoreline around Truman Lake provide opportunities for outdoor activities, and nearby parks, such as Harry S. Truman State Park, offer additional recreational options. The Harry S. Truman Visitor Center provides a view of the dam and reservoir, as well as exhibits on the history of the Osage River Valley.
