  • Protected wilderness lands - Nature tamed with care

The Ozark Mountain Region enjoys the privilege of embracing the largest and most remote areas of protected wilderness in the Eastern United States and some of the most beautiful, untamed high country in the nation. Wildlife, hiking trails, waterfalls and striking vistas are abundant.

Baker Prairie in Harrison preserves the beauty and nature of the long grass prairies that once spread across acres of America's land.

Bull Shoals State Park on magnificent Bull Shoals Lake actively protects the natural beauty and wildlife of the region while offering visitors a variety of camping experiences in scenic campgrounds.

Spend some time on the pages of our Parks and Nature section and discover more about these remarkable national treasures preserved in the Natural State.
