Engelmann Woods Natural Area consists of Шаблон:Convert in northeastern Franklin County, Missouri. It is located southwest of the town of St. Albans on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River.

Engelmann Woods preserves one of the last old growth forests in Missouri. Some of the trees in the area are approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter, Шаблон:Convert tall, and 200 years old.

There is a Шаблон:Convert hiking trail in the area, and hunting and fishing are not permitted in the area.
