Many guests go out with a fishing guide for a day to learn the local tricks, then go back out by themselves for the rest of their stay. Fishing along the banks and off our dock also works well.

For a spectacular view of the Ozarks hills don't miss the scenic wonder of the Glade Top Trail. It is unique, fascinating and worth visiting. Several scenic views are marked on the trail in western Ozark County where a 20-mile long gravel road takes you past one breathtaking view after another as it winds over the tops of the glades and knobs. The favorite time to visit is either in the spring for the Dogwood, Redbud and other flowering trees, or when the fall foliage reaches its spectacular color peak in late October.
