Grand Gulf State Park (West Plains, MO)

 
At the other end, the eastern side of the natural bridge that spans the middle of the gulf, you can take a set of 118 steps to the bottom.  The view from above is quite daunting.  (The cave is visible to the right.)

Unfortunately this short trail, a few views, and access down into the gulf (along with a few picnic tables) is about all there is to this state park.  Hopefully, trails will be build in the future to allow visitors other options to get out into nature.
