The seasonally-expected species typical of mid-Missouri riparian habitats should be present and easily accessed.

Directions: NOTE:  Directions on the official site are now incorrect.    Hemstreet intersects with Rt. C in two places.  The old directions say to go right on Hemstreet Rd. about "5 miles" from the south side of Jefferson City. The bridge over the Moreau on this stretch of Hemstreet is permanently closed before Hemstreet reaches the access.

Go past this first intersection for about two more miles, turn right and follow Hemstreet Rd. to the access.

Riparian forest and some grassland and scrub area near the entrance support a good suite of species. A footpath leading upstream allows exploration along a short stretch of the Moreau River.
