Much of the park is covered with thick forest that displays a diverse population of trees, plants and flowers. Many types of wildlife, including deer, raccoons and wild turkeys, also make their homes in the forests of Crowder State Park. Crowder State Park is a commemorative park dedicated to the memory of Maj. Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, one of several important American military leaders who was nurtured in the hills of northern Missouri.
