As our modern world continues to be more and more developed, our area can still boast miles and miles of trees, clear streams and rivers, beautiful lakes, fresh air and solitude. Our woods and waters are brimming with wild game and fish; the songs of birds and natural sounds are our common pleasures.

Here at home, Clearwater Lake is one of Missouri’s most popular fishing and recreation lakes. From the air, it sparkles like an emerald jewel nestling in a colorful Ozark setting.

A few miles to our west are the Ozark Natural Scenic Riverways, the home of two of the most popular floating streams in America, The Current and Jacks Fork Rivers.
