If you love camping and floating or just relaxing and exploring Missouri’s natural wonders from the comfort of a Bed and Breakfast Inn, Lodge or Cabin, the Black River Area in the Ozarks is the perfect getaway or family vacation spot away from the city. Enjoy Missouri canoeing at its best, or choose to take a relaxing float in rafts, tubes or kayaks. Only two hours southwest of St. Louis, we are the hub of recreational activities in the Southeast Missouri Ozarks. Visit Taum Sauk, Missouri’s highest mountain, the Ozark Trail, Bell Mountain Wilderness Area and Mark Twain National Forest. Elephant Rocks is close by and don’t miss Fort Davidson Historic site. We also have many artisans and antique shops in our area. So take a few minutes to explore our site. We hope to see you soon!
