Never been, but going the end of July. Any MUST SHOOTS in the surrounding area? Any good photography tours or trips? (It is about 45 minutes from Columbia). Thanks everyone!

I like it all - wildlife & nature in general, landscapes, waterfalls, wine, a good steak...

Check out the two swinging bridges near Brumley, MO. Also Ha Ha Tonka State Park at Camdenton, MO is a photographer's dream.

Well there plenty of all that down there. Fall is really the best time to go into that area. Thunder mountain an the swinging bridge. Several national national parks.
This one is for fall

Ditto to Ha Ha Tonka state park. Consider travelling deeper into the Ozarks and beyond the touristy Lake. Rivers, bluffs, impressive springs and more.

Thanks for all the replies! I'll check out all I can - I'll be there a week. Don't want the touristy places...so will definitely be doing some driving! I'll have a rental car. We're flying into Columbia.

Ha Ha Tonka State Park is a must! I have lead tours there every fall for the last few years. Thiking there is great, but you don't have to hike far for some shots.

also near Columbia is Rock Bridge State Park and take a tour through the abandoned MO State Penitentiary in Jefferson City, well worth it.

One of the very unique things about the Missouri Ozarks is the very interesting and active caves. Many of them are privately owned and have tours, which I cannot vouch for (quite a few around Lake of the Ozarks). Onondaga Cave State Park offers perhaps something less...touristy.
