It was established in 1938, making it one of the oldest Missouri Department of Conservation areas. Being located close to a major urban area and in a rapidly developing suburban area increases its significance as a nature reserve. Rockwoods supports a diverse array of native plant and animal life and contains geologically interesting rock formations and ecologically important springs and caves. Rockwoods Reservation is not a pristine wilderness untouched by human hands, however; remnants of extensive former limestone, clay and gravel quarrying operations are hidden in the dense second growth hardwood forest. Most of the original forest was clearcut to feed lime kilns. Rockwoods Reservation adjoins St. Louis County's {{convert|1724|acre}} Greensfelder County Park to the south, which itself abuts the state's {{convert|1388|acre}} Rockwoods Range Conservation Area. Taken together, these three parcels constitute a contiguous green belt of almost {{convert|5000|acre}}.
