Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park is a lovely public recreation area spanning more than 8,700 acres throughout Reynolds County, located along the banks of the beautiful East Fork Black River. The state park is named for the geological feature of the same name, which limit the river's breadth as a result of erosion-resistant hard rock. During safe water conditions, the resulting cascades create natural water park features over the river's smooth igneous rocks. Visitors can enjoy excellent opportunities for swimming, rock climbing, hiking, and equestrian riding throughout the year at the park at sites such as the two-mile Scour Trail loop and the 10-mile Goggins Mountain Equestrian Trail, a segment of the Ozark Trail.
