The Pacific Palisades Conservation Area is a conservation area located along the Meramec River where St. Louis, Jefferson, and Franklin counties meet in Missouri, USA. It is named for the rock and sand formations along this portion of the Meramec River.[1] The LaBarque Creek Conservation Area is about 3.3miles to the south.
Pacific Palisades Conservation Area is a tract between St. Louis and Jefferson counties. The area is divided into a wildlife area in Jefferson County and an access area, in St. Louis County. River access is only available from the St. Louis county section. Hunting is allowed only in the Jefferson County section.
The access area is located in St. Louis county 800yard west of Eureka on Franklin Road. The access area hosts a Meramec River access and is on the north shore of the Meramec River.
