Located adjacent to the Lake of the Ozarks or a short drive north of Branson, Truman features excellent fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, and boating opportunities. Truman Lake also offers a regional visitor center and powerplant exhibit area.
Located in southern Missouri, lies the Mark Twain National Forest. The Forest lies mostly within the Ozark Plateau dotted with remnant hills from this country's oldest mountains, the Ozarks.
