Rolling forests filled with lakes, streams, and countless caves make up what is known as the Ozark Mountains. The Ozark mountains includes a large portion of the northern and northwestern part of Arkansas, a portion of southern Missouri, northeastern Oklahoma, and the extreme southeastern portion of Kansas.

The Ozarks is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts from boating, hunting, hiking along trails and through the many different caves. Fishing is abundant in the six different lakes that are available. But the Ozarks are not just for those that love the outdoors, as there are other things to do as well. Silver Dollar City and Dogpatch U.S.A are great family theme amusement parks, and they also incorporate many of the traditions of the Ozark people. Many of skits, music performances, and even arts & crafts of the local people are showcased. Square dances are very popular with those that live in the Ozarks as well as the very familiar Ozark Folktales that have been passed from generation to generation. Branson, Missouri is still a very large tourist spot for those loving the music entertainment and the down home feel that Ozarks has to offer.

Ozarks is also home to not only dairy and crop farming, but provides much of the poultry eaten today. I am sure that all are very familiar with the fact that the home of the largest discount store in the world originates from the mountains of the Ozarks.

So as you can see, the Ozarks has much to offer for every member of the family from entertainment, shopping, fishing, and just everyday relaxing.
