Shannon County

The Land in Shannon County

Shannon County is the wild heart of the Ozarks, a vast expanse of forest where the Current and Jacks Fork rivers run cold and clear through towering bluffs. Much of the county lies within Mark Twain National Forest and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, giving buyers timbered tracts against enormous blocks of public ground. Big springs feed world-class floating and fishing, while the deep hardwood cover holds trophy-class whitetail and hard-gobbling turkey. Thin, rocky soils keep any farming to pasture and hay in the narrow bottoms. Anchored by Eminence, this is country for a serious hunting retreat, a river tract, or a remote recreational holding where solitude and clear water define the appeal.
