The Mark Twain National Forest provides much of the scenic beauty in the Ozarks Heritage Region. Here you’ll discover a wealth of outdoor recreational activities within its borders. With more than 40 campgrounds and picnic sites, 350 miles of floatable streams, 63,000 wilderness acres, and 125 miles of trails for hikers, bikers and horseback riders, you’ll be hard-pressed to decide what you want to explore first. Here in West Plains, you’re only a stone’s through away from the best attractions the Midwest has to offer.
