RIVERTON Mo. (KY3) - Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt appealed a court order forcing the state to sell part of the Eleven Point State Park in Oregon County.
The park is located on 4,200 acres near Riverton. The state bought the land in 2016, under Governor Jay Nixonâs administration, using money the state received from a settlement involving lead mining. Due to legal entanglements, the park never opened.
