For year-round paddling, try the pristine Ozark National Scenic Riverway, renowned for mild winters and scenery unchanged since the days of the Indians. It's so good, it's designated a national scenic byway. Another worthwhile trip is Sugar Camp Road, which touts 10 miles of ridge-top views of the Ozarks. More on scenic driving in Mark Twain National Forest Go Wild for a Day Mark Twain is popular with hunters, trappers, fishermen, and wildlife photographers alike.
Wildlife abounds from the low hardwoods to the upland oak, hickory, and pines.
The fortunate and stealthy may spot a coyote or bobcat. Hunters should note that wild turkey is in season in the fall, just in time for Thanksgiving. And for the fisherman, the many lakes, rivers, and streams in the region are well stocked. Work Outdoors at GORP Jobs Click Here. All rights reserved.
