My Mission

Hi there! Welcome to MarkTwainNationalForest.com! I’m Buzzy, the founder of this website, and let me tell you, the Mark Twain National Forest holds a special place in my heart. I have a homestead right here surrounded by the forest, and I wouldn’t trade this place for the world.

My passion for this extraordinary landscape ignited the spark for this website. It all began with a desire to share the wonders of the Mark Twain with others, just like you.

Imagine this: backpacks loaded, a sense of adventure crackling in the air, and my kids by my side – that’s how we explore the Ozarks! We traverse hiking trails, glide across crystal-clear rivers, and keep our eyes peeled for hidden waterfalls. Each expedition is a chance to gather the best tips and recommendations to equip you for your own unforgettable Mark Twain adventure.

But our mission goes beyond just sharing tips. We aim to inspire exploration and responsible stewardship of this magnificent forest. We want you to experience the magic firsthand, to develop a deep appreciation for its natural wonders. By providing exceptional information and resources, we hope to promote responsible outdoor recreation that ensures the health and beauty of the Mark Twain National Forest for generations to come.

This website is a two-way street! Feel free to reach out to me at buzzy@marktwainnationalforest.com. I’d love to hear about your adventures, answer any questions you might have, and incorporate your feedback to make this site even better.

May you always seek what lies beyond the map.

– Buzzy
