Binder Park - City park in Jefferson City - 5840 Rainbow Dr, USA

I love Binder Park so much. The lake is pretty and there are a lot of sporting areas. They also have a good disc golf course. This downright magical picture of the swan family( look for the 2 babies!!) is OC that I shot with a filter(night mode) on my camera phone just off the bank. That is not the sun, it is the moon. Just a beautiful place to visit and spend time.

We had a Family/Friends outdoor event. This was the only place Park and Rec had available, and let me tell you, it was the perfect place! We had over 50 people to show up, and everyone had a great time. There is plenty of room for the children to run around, nice size BBQ pit! Bathrooms right near the pavilion. Reasonably priced.

Binder is a beautiful park that is spread over 644 acres. It has a large lake for fishing, sailing, and kayaking. In the fall, the park staff has hayrides where people can hire a tractor and flatbed trailer to take a trip thru the back woods and have a woodfire picnic. There are picnic areas and a playground, public restrooms, and a small store to buy or rent fishing gear and rent kayaks. There are numerous trails to hike, too, but use caution on them. Unsavory people have been known to frequent them as well. Hike as a group.

Well maintained recreational area. Frisbee golf, volleyball, kayaking, fishing, softball, baseball, hiking, biking, and much more. This is a great place to enjoy being outside. Take the family or get some alone time. Very easy to access for the Jefferson City population. Some of the best single track mountain bike trails I've ridden in the state. As a recent beginner in learning to sail this is a great place to try it out. The Capitol City Sailing Association has friendly and enthusiastic members to show you the ropes (lines).

We had a good time on the hay ride. Hot dogs 🌭 and smores over the camp fire

The only thing that was annoying was the trail was not labeled very clearly.

Great trails. JC parks did a great job of upgrading all the trail markings.

I loved it!! 1st time bringing my kids but it was so nice and beautiful to see! I love seeing the lights singing or interacting with the music it was so amazing! Thanks for this Capital City Festival of Lights!
