Clinton, Missouri is located in the beautiful Golden Valley about half way between Kansas City and Springfield. Make a visit or make it your home; you'll never run out of things to do! We are conveniently located at the intersections of Highways 7, 13, 52 and 18, about 45 minutes off of 71 Highway.

• Katy Trail - Clinton is proud to be home of the Katy Trail State Park. The trail head is located near the Hwy 13 bypass over 52 Hwy on the north side of town. Near the trail head you will find the community center with restrooms and showers, a jogging track, workout facilities and an indoor aquatic center. Downtown is only a couple miles away, and what a vibrant downtown it is! Here you will find public outside accessible (heated/cooled) restrooms at the Depot, restaurants, the Henry County Library, the Henry County Museum, banks, Downtown DeSoto, the Dorman House and retail stores.
• Truman Lake - Only about 10 minutes away, Truman Lake is a hot spot for locals and tourists alike. You'll be pleased to find boating, camping and the best fishing around. We often have fishing tournaments in the warmer months. Because it isn't too commercialized and thus as crowded as the Lake of the Ozarks, Truman Lake is great place to have fun fishing and boating with the family.
• Shopping - Clinton offers a variety of shopping spots, including antique stores and retail stores. Be sure to come shopping in our historic downtown, just two miles off Highway 13. Near the south Hwy 13 & Hwy 7 intersection you will find the Cedar Shopping Center and Truman Lake Mall.

• Parks - Optimist Park is located just off Green Street and Franklin Street less than a mile from Highway 7. Artesian Park is in the southwest part of Clinton near the outdoor swimming pool. Both parks offer shelter houses and such, although Artesian is a bigger park if you're looking for more to do. It has more larger shelter houses, more playground equipment, and tennis courts.

• Hunting - Clinton and the surrounding area is a very popular destination during hunting seasons. With so much land inhabited only by trees and brush and nature, there is plenty of land for the wild game to roam. Turkey and deer are two of the most popular types of game.
• Fishing - Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Truman Lake is a very busy place! Between the bass tournaments and leisurely fishermen, the Lake gets a steady stream of traffic. Because it isn't commercialized like the Lake of the Ozarks, Truman is a quieter, better place to fish. There are even some good fishing spots near trees and brush where you'll have the fish all to yourself.
• Heartland Community Theatre plays - The Heartland Community Theatre generally puts on a couple of plays per year, each running for two weekends in a row.
