State officials are taking input from the public on the future of Big Lake State Park in Holt County.
Three meetings held this week in Northwest Missouri outlined two proposals presented by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Missouri State Park officials.
One of the proposals include demolishing the motel, cabins and dining lodge to replace them with a day-use area including a walking trail.
The second proposal would keep space for 25 patrons in cabins. The motel, dining lodge and restaurant would all be replaced with a multipurpose building. That building would include a restaurant, conference room, welcome center and a convenience store.
The state park is currently closed after flooding once again damaged the park last year. The meetings were held in Mound City, Maryville and St. Joseph this week.
