caption_attribution_description: English: A shaded relief image showing Jay Nixon State Park in Missouri. Park boundaries are from a shapefile published by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.[1] At the time the map data was published the tract of land that makes up Jay Nixon State Park was represented as being a part of adjacent Taum Sauk Mountain State Park.[2] Do not rely on this map for determining legal boundaries or for navigation; it is provided with no guarantee of suitability for any purpose.
context_page_description: Jay Nixon State Park is a state park in Reynolds County, Missouri, that was announced by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in January 2017. The park is named for governor Jay Nixon under whom several new Missouri state parks were added.
  At the time of the park's announcement there were no facilities in the park, and it could only be accessed via the Ozark Trail. After initially announcing the park open, though largely inaccessible, the park's website was updated to say that as of February 2017, it is closed with no access.
  The name of the new park has been controversial, and on January 12, 2017, Missouri state senator Gary Romine and state representative Paul Fitzwater filed bills in their respective chambers to rename the park Proffitt Mountain State Park.
