Introduksjon
Ozark National Scenic Riverways er et beskyttet område i Missouri, opprettet for å bevare Current- og Jacks Fork-elvene. Besøkende kommer for å oppleve den naturlige skjønnheten i Ozark-fjellene, med muligheter for fotturer, camping og utforskning av over 300 grotter. Parken huser også mangfoldige plantefellesskap og dyreliv, inkludert ville hester og elg som er gjeninnført fra Kentucky.
Parkens hovedkontor ligger i Van Buren, hvor et lite museum og besøkssenter gir informasjon om områdets historie og økologi. Ozark Trail, Missouris lengste sti, går gjennom parken og tilbyr naturskjønne utsikter og tilgang til ulike attraksjoner som Rocky Falls og Klepzig Mill.
