THE FORESTS
Welcome to the official website of the Ozark-St. Francis
National Forests.
The Ozark-St. Francis National Forests are really two separate
Forests with many differences. They are distinct in their own topographical,
geological, biological, cultural and social differences, yet each
makes up a part of the overall National Forest system.
The Ozark National Forest
covers 1.2 million acres, mostly in the Ozark mountains of northern
Arkansas. You'll find the tallest mountain in the State, Mount Magazine,
and an incredible, living underground cave--Blanchard
Springs Caverns.
The St. Francis
National Forest covers 22,600 acres in eastern Arkansas, one
of the smallest and most diverse forests in the country.
These forests are generously endowed with recreational
opportunities for camping, hiking, swimming, fishing, hunting,
boating, scenic drives, picnics sites, and opportunities for wildlife
viewing also abound.
Explore our information on-line. Discover what
wonderful scenery and recreational opportunities await your visit.
