Near Belleview
StateInsider tip · Granite boulders (1.5-billion-year-old) as big as elephants. Day-use only. The 1-mile Braille Trail is one of the few in the country accessible to blind hikers. Camp at Johnson's Shut-Ins SP 30 min south.
Near Middle Brook
StateInsider tip · Volcanic-rock 'shut-ins' (natural waterslides) on the Black River. 2005 Taum Sauk reservoir breach destroyed the original campground; rebuilt 2009 modern. Required to wear water shoes in the shut-ins.
Near Willow Springs
USFSInsider tip · Quiet 26-acre lake — no-wake. Trout-stocked weekly April-Oct. The North Fork River nearby is the cold-water spring-fed paddle. Cherry-stone agate beach unique.
Near Branson
PrivateInsider tip · Walk to Branson Strip + Silver Dollar City shuttle stop. Christmas-light show season (Nov-Dec) is the unique-fish — book a year out. Sites have the best Ozark Mountain view.
