Missouri River Hills

The Missouri River Hills landscape is the largest contiguous block of forested land north of the Missouri River. Serving as the boundary where glaciers once met the Ozarks, the tallgrass prairies from the north transition into the rugged forest hills and this greatly influenced the wildlife of the area. Today the Missouri River Hills still support an interesting mosaic of forests, woodlands and glades. A drive along Highway 94 provides terrific views of dramatically rolling hills and impressive limestone cliffs rising above the Missouri River floodplain.
