RockBridge State Park
Some of Missouri's most beautiful and most trafficked hiking trails can be found here along with some of the more isolated trails in the Gabs Creek Wild Area. The park contains a large cave system with an interesting rock bridge, several sinkholes, and more, and visitors can go inside and explore Connor's Cave.
Katy Trail
This is a recreational rail trail that runs 240 miles in the right-of-way of the former Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad. There is an offshoot called the MKT that connects the trail to Columbia. The trail is great for walking, running, or biking. A nice, local entry to the trail can be found at 800 Stadium Blvd, Columbia, MO 65203.

The Pinnacles
A geological oddity formed by two rivers carving out a mass of limestone on both sides. Directions: From the intersection of Highways 63 and I-70 in Columbia, go 13.9 miles north on Highway 63. Turn right on Pinnacles Road and turn right at the T. Go straight for .6 mile into the parking lot for the area.
