Mark Twain National Forest

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. It is the only National Forest in the State, encompassing 1,487,009 acres.

From Rolla, several State highways provide access to the forest. State highway 32/72 bisects the forest west to east and intersects with other highways providing north and south access.
