SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – In addition to great hunting, fishing and nature-viewing opportunities, the landscape of some Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) areas offer another opportunity – scenic views.
Enjoying beautiful outdoors scenery might not be as far away as you think. Postcards and travel books often give the impression that breath-taking landscapes can only be found at high mountains and deep canyons located far from the Show-Me State. However, the up-and-down topography of some MDC areas in southern Missouri offer opportunities for people who want to photograph scenic landscapes or for those who simply want to enjoy a beautiful view.
