NATURE TRAIL

• Enjoy our three quarters of a mile walk through the woods and observe Nature's Beauty as seen only in the Missouri Ozarks. Break areas are provided for those who might need them, a picnic table for a packed lunch, Bird Houses and even a Butterfly Hotel.
• At the entrance is a Bulletin Board, full of interesting facts and information. If you are lucky, you may observe one or more of the Birds or other critters shown on the Bulletin Board.
• This trail complete, is approximately 3/4 of a mile. It has 2 sections. The one on the RIGHT consists of some fairly steep grades while the LEFT one is more like a casual walk in the park.
• Start the trail by turning RIGHT and following the TRAIL SIGNS. There also are EXIT signs.
• There are BENCHES for you to relax and enjoy the NATURE that surrounds you. You can watch the birds which are plentiful and various species. You might even see the 2' long RED-HEADED WOODPECKER that habitats this campground. In the early winter season you can even spot some ICE-FLOWERS depending on the moisture and air temperature.
• On the trail you will find HAND RAILS in some awkward spots, a BRIDGE to cross, some FALLEN TREES that must be stepped over, BIRDHOUSES, a BUTTERFLY HOTEL and ARCHWAY that must be walked under and depending on the weather, 3 WATER DRAINAGE SPILLWAYS have to be crossed. One of which has a few rocks which are no obstacle, but BE CAREFUL.
• There is a PICNIC TABLE if you get hungry or just want to relax.
• Help us keep it CLEAN by using the TRASH CONTAINERS provided and if you walk you PET, please pick up it's litter.

BE SAFE AND ENJOY YOUR VISIT AT WATERS EDGE
