How to choose your Ozarks region

The Ozarks cover a huge swath of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. Each region has a distinct personality: Branson and Table Rock Lake for shows and clear-water camping, Lake of the Ozarks for full-service resorts and boating, the Buffalo National River and Current River for floating and wild scenery, Eureka Springs for a historic hill town with Beaver Lake next door, and Bull Shoals & Norfork for big lakes and trout.

Most regions are within two to three hours of each other, which makes the Ozarks ideal for a multi-stop loop. Start with our 7-day road trip, and check the big-rig driving guide before tackling the steeper scenic byways.
