The Ozark National Scenic Riverways are a beautiful national park in southern Missouri's Ozark Mountains region, originally created in 1964 to protect the lovely Jacks Fork and Current Rivers. The 80,000-acre park receives 1.3 million annual visitors, known for its excellent swimming, fishing, canoeing, and hiking experiences. Visitors can explore the park's abundant caves, including Round Spring Caverns, which is showcased during ranger-led tours throughout the summer months. The long-distance Ozark Trail hiking trail traverses past sites such as beautiful Rocky Falls. Historic sites throughout the park include the Buttin Rock School building, Walter Klepzig Mill and Farm, the Reed Log House, and the Alley Spring Roller Mill. Campgrounds are offered along the river at sites at Round Spring, Pulltite, Two Rivers, Big Spring, and Alley Spring.
