Mark Twain Lake is accessible year round with
the exception of a special Handicap Hunt. During off season, you
must check in at the district office at 20642 Highway J, Monroe
City, MO 63456, (573) 735-4097 and let them know you are hunting
caches. A special window geocaching card may be issued. Some
areas of the recreation area can be gated so you would have to park
and walk in. Letting the office know will prevent a meeting with a
ranger and having to explain why you were back there in the first
place. During regular season, usually from April - October, the
area is wide open. If you arrive at the guard shack near the
campground area, tell them you are geocaching and they will issue
you a geocaching pass. Check the following websites for more
