Hawn State Park is a Missouri state park located near Ste. Genevieve. The 4,953-acre (2,004 ha) park was acquired in 1955. Inside the park boundaries are three state-designated Natural Areas. They are Pickle Creek, LaMotte Sandstone Barrens, and Botkin's Pine Woods. Orchid Valley is also considered part of Hawn State Park, but is not connected to the rest of the park and is not open to the public.

The park offers camping, fishing, picnicking, and hiking on three named trails: Whispering Pines, White Oak, and Pickle Creek.
