Ozark Heritage Welcome Center

Nestled in the beautiful Ozark hills, West Plains is the largest city within a 100-mile radius. It boasts of lodging, dining, and shopping conveniences of city-life while having the advantage of being close to the country. In just a very short drive, you can find yourself hiking in the Mark Twain National Forest, exploring one of ten historic water mills, kayaking or fishing crystal-clear spring-fed rivers and streams, or hunting the more than 63,000 wilderness acres of National forest.
