Big Spring Pines
Big Spring Pines is one of the most outstanding pine-oak forests in the Lower Ozarks Section. Shortleaf pine and scarlet and white oaks dominate the canopy, while sassafras, black cherry, flowering dogwood and black gum occur in the mid-canopy. The forest floor is rich with sedges, grasses and wildflowers. Several small springs in Chub Hollow maintain the rare heart-leaf plantain and petaltail stonefly. The area is closed to camping, hunting, picnicking and open fires.
