Review & FAQ:
If you’re looking for a place to just soak up as much of nature’s beauty as possible in Mountain View, look no further than the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. Though two separate forests, the Ozark – St. Francis National Forest are often referred to as one or spoken of together as they are both managed by the Henry R. Koen Forest Services. The Ozark Forest covers over one million areas with portions stretching to the Matney Mountain in the northwest and the southern Ouachita Mountains. Established in 1908 by way of a presidential proclamation, the Ozark Forest is home to over 500 species of woody plants and trees on its own. Meanwhile, the St. Francis National Forest features 20,946 acres of land in the Lee and Phillips Counties and was established in 1960. It is equally beautiful and is a great place for camping and other nature activities as both parks are home to several multi-use trails.
