Woodson K. Woods Memorial Conservation Area offers multiple access points to the Meramec River and Dry Fork Creek across 5,658 acres in Phelps and Crawford counties.

The area features a gravel bar boat launch (no concrete ramp) and several parking areas with varying amenities, including some with bathrooms and picnic tables, making it suitable for both fishing and paddling.

Multiple trailheads provide hiking access to scenic river valleys and bluffs, with the Highway 8 access point serving as the primary developed location.
