Discover the Ozark Trail: Missouri’s Ultimate Outdoor Adventure
Stretching across more than 430 miles of breathtaking Missouri landscape, the Ozark Trail system is your gateway to unforgettable outdoor experiences. Divided into 14 distinct sections—with additional spur trails for even more exploring—this natural-surface trail welcomes hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians. Most of the trail is multi-use, offering everything from short scenic strolls to a challenging 230-mile “thru hike.” Take a leisurely afternoon hike to Mina Sauk Falls atop Taum Sauk Mountain, Missouri’s highest point. Spend a week backpacking along the wild and scenic Current and Eleven Point Rivers. Or challenge yourself on the rugged Berryman Loop. No matter your pace, the Ozark Trail will leave you recharged, refreshed, and smiling. Traverse diverse terrain and immerse yourself in rich natural beauty: dense forests, cascading waterfalls, shut-ins, bluffs, caves, glades, and pristine springs and streams. Wildlife is abundant—deer, turkey, bobcats, black bears, songbirds, and bald eagles all call this area home. It’s one of the most biologically diverse regions in North America.
