The rolling Mississippi River has built this alluvial plain into rich farm country. Look for cotton along the roadsides, or stop at one of the riverside parks to admire the high limestone bluffs. Beautiful Lake Wappapello offers miles of trails and excellent boating and fishing (bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill). Visit the Mark Twain National Forest to hike the over 150,000 acres of lake-dotted hills, spread across the Ozark Plateau.
