Young Conservation Area

Young Conservation Area, formerly named Hilda Young Conservation Area, consisting of 970 acres, is located in the north central portion of Jefferson County, Missouri. The property is about 3 miles west of County Highway W along Highway FF between LaBarque Creek and John McKeever Road.

The area was acquired through a donation and purchase by the Conservation Department in 1986. The area is about 93 percent forested with oak, maple, hickory, and other native specifies. Deer, turkeys and squirrels are abundant. LaBarque Creek, glade areas, tree plantations and open fields provide diverse wildlife habitat.

The plantations on the area include a 3.5 acre Austrian pine grove and a 3.5 acre walnut grove.

The 2.5-mile Taconic Loop Trail winds along LaBarque Creek and there are two man-made fishing ponds stocked with bass and bluegill. Hunting is permitted. Bow hunting is permitted in season. Single-projectile firearms are not allowed.

Young Conservation Area is open daily from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The area is recommended for hunting, fishing, nature study, outdoor photography, picnicking and frogging (in season). Free-running pets are not allowed. No camping, horseback riding, target shooting, open fires, or swimming is permitted.

Nearby Missouri Department of Conservation areas include Rockwoods Reservation, Rockwoods Range, Forest 44 Conservation Area, Pacific Palisades Conservation Area and August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area.
