Ava/Cassville/Willow Springs Ranger District

Area Status: Open

Visitors to Ava/Cassville/Willow Springs District will find different landscapes from oak-hickory forests , shortleaf pine forests, and glades. Glades are open areas of native tall prairie grasses characterized by dry, shallow soils and limestone outcroppings.

The unique blending of eastern forest and western desert habitats makes a home for such varied wildlife as the bald eagle and the roadrunner, armadillos and wild turkey, white-tailed deer and black bears.

The sunlit balds and deep hollows, narrow ridgetops and steep slopes, secluded pastures and clear streams characteristic of the Ozarks are the trademark of the District. This is the landscape so eloquently described in Harold Bell Wright's famous book, The Shepherd of the Hills.

Nearby vacation destinations -- Branson, Silver Dollar City, Bass Pro, and Table Rock Lake -- make the District one of Missouri's favorite playgrounds.

If you drive through this area, you will be delighted at every turn by scenic views. Hike your way through the Forest and you will find solitude and tranquility.

The beautiful North Fork River is the pride of Willow Springs Area. A total of nine major springs flow into the river; two of the largest, Big Springs and Blue Spring, contribute some 18 million gallons of cold, clear water every day. The river is popular with canoeists as well as anglers.

The District contains three of seven Congressionally-designated Wilderness Areas; Devils Backbone, Hercules Glades, and Piney Creek Wildernesses.

The District has the Forest’s only National Forest Scenic Byways; Blue Buck Knob, Glade Top Trail; and Sugar Camp.

Viewing Wildlife

The Mark Twain National Forest, situated in the ancient and beautiful Missouri Ozarks, is home to over 650 native wildlife species. These include almost 200 kinds of fish, over 100 different amphibians and reptiles, over 300 breeds of birds, and around 60 types of mammals. Species range from “A” (Amphiuma tidactylum, the three-toed amphiuma – an aquatic salamander that resembles an eel) to “Z” (Zenaida macroura, commonly known as the mourning dove.)

For information on Wildlife Watching, Birding, and Pollinators visit our Wildlife page.

Viewing Plants

Mark Twain National Forest encompasses a large and varied landscape throughout most of the Ozarks of Missouri, and even a small part of the prairie region in the center of the State.

Within this wide and varied landscape there exists a diverse array of plants. Of the roughly 2,800 species of plant in Missouri, about two-thirds can be found on the Forest. While most can be found commonly throughout the Forest, less common species can be found in specific natural communities such as calcareous fens, acid seeps, and glades (limestone, dolomite and igneous).

Spring wildflowers are especially showy in the Missouri Ozarks, and a hike in riparian forests in March and April will lead the visitor to many beautiful displays of wildflowers.

The glades near Ava and Cassville are a good place for wildflower viewing, and a drive along the Glade Top Trail on the Ava Unit in June and July will lead the visitor to many fine views of not only wildflowers, but also the hills and balds that are famous in this region.

What to look for

Viewing Scenery

Blue Buck Knob National Forest Scenic Byway

The Blue Buck Knob Scenic Byway cuts through wooded lands of mixed hardwoods and shortleaf pine intermixed with open pastures. Points of interest along the Blue Buck Knob Scenic Byway are the Indian Creek Overlook, Blue Buck Overlook, Noblett Recreation Area, and the Blue Hole Trailhead where you can assess the Ridge Runner and Ozark Trails.

Blue Spring Trail

This very short walk takes you from North Fork Campground to the beautiful Blue Spring. Among the trees, cardinals and other birds sweep from one branch to another. Flowering dogwood and redbud catch sunshine from the gaps between branches and leaves and display brilliant spring colors. Blue Spring on North Fork River is in an oval shape, about 30 feet in diameter. It averages 7 million gallons per day of cold, clear blue water. The pool is colorful and the setting dramatic - on three sides, the stone wall made of cherty Gasconade dolomite surrounds the spring and represents the karst topography of the Ozarks.

Caney Picnic Area

Located along the Glade Top Trail National Forest Scenic Byway, this day use area is situated on one of the Ozark glades. Spring and summer blooming wildflowers cover the area in natural beauty. The fall colors offer a breathtaking display only nature can provide. Open glade country surrounds the picnic area. On glades such as these, the notorious Bald Knobbers met and planned their raids.

Glade Top National Scenic Byway

Along the trail are seven overlook “pull-outs” that provide panoramic views that reach to the Springfield Plateau twenty miles to the northwest and forty miles south to the Boston Mountains in Arkansas. Visit the detail stop links below for more about each of the views.

The Glade Top Trail is little changed from the original road constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930’s. For twenty-three miles, the two-lane, all weather gravel road follows narrow ridge tops rising approximately 500 feet above the surrounding rolling countryside, and overlooks and passes through many limestone/dolomite glades interspersed with open and closed woodlands.

Shell Knob

Shell Knob Recreation Site is situated along a bluff overlooking the White River arm of beautiful Table Rock Lake, in an unincorporated portion of Shell Knob. It is a great location to relax and enjoy being away from it all. The pavilion was once the site of Civilian Conservation Corps camp, which operated from 1936 to 1942. Several historic features are still visible within the site. The surrounding area is heavily wooded and provides scenic forest views. A short walking trail leads to a scenic overlook of Table Rock Lake.

Sugar Camp National Forest Scenic Byway

Most of the route is along wooded hills and valleys which are covered with mixed hardwoods, with intermingled eastern red cedar and pine stands. Vistas provide opportunity to view distant landscapes.  Two areas provide for visitors to rest and picnic. They are Onyx and Sugar Camp Tower.
