It may be a misconception for some that wellness retreats are only for work and team-building activities. But these retreats can also be for self-healing and recharging. Some rural parts of Missouri allow you to do just that. Here, you can be encapsulated by forest evergreens in state parks such as Lake of the Ozarks State Park and Castlewood State Park. Enjoy a peaceful walk around Springfield Conservation Nature Center for free, or take your pet to Dogwood Canyon Nature Park in Lampe. If you’re looking for a relaxing outdoor activity, try fishing at Bennett Spring State Park in Lebanon. With all the exciting things to do in Missouri, it’s only natural to want to stay in a relaxing accommodation. While there are plenty of staycation spots here, they don’t necessarily cater to well-rounded experiences. Read on if you want to know the best wellness retreats in Missouri, USA.
