Float streams and timber in Missouri's old mineral country.

Washington County is rolling Ozark border country with a deep mining heritage, long known for its tiff and mineral diggings. The land rises into timbered hills and ridges, cut by some of the finest float streams in the state, clear and spring-fed creeks that draw paddlers and anglers through the warm months. Mark Twain National Forest ground is scattered across the county. This is timber, cattle, and recreation land: hardwood ridges that hold deer and turkey, pasture and hay in the valleys, and gravel-bar streams for floating and fishing. For a hunting property, a working cattle place, or a recreational tract on good water, Washington County offers a lot of Ozark character within easy reach of St. Louis.
