Springtime in the Ozarks, can be quite scenic. Of course, Dogwood Canyon Nature Park happens to have a little help. The dogwoods were for the most part halfway opened, and the redbuds were mostly opened, but most of the tree leaves were still just budding, - in many shades of light green. These were taken on April 12, 2021.
It has many(!) waterfalls, and the landscaping is keep impeccable. The walking path is outstanding, with photo opportunities every which way you look! If you want to trout fish, you can 'catch and release' (or keep what you catch for a fee). Many people rent a bicycle, or take a tour tram. The walkway is about 3 miles one way, but ends at the entrance to the animal display area (no walking there for obvious reasons... wild animals are just that, wild!). To see my photo of the white bison, please see my post of a couple of days ago.
It also has a nice museum, nature display, gift shop, and restaurant.
