Hiking
The Karkaghne Section of the Ozark Trail spans roughly 29 miles, connecting Sutton Bluff to Highway 72. It winds along forested ridgelines and dips into hollows, crossing the West Fork of the Black River and Bee Fork, with a scenic spur to Grasshopper Hollow—the largest fen complex in non-glaciated North America. Known for its solitude, moderate difficulty, and seasonal water gaps, it’s a fantastic stretch for experienced backpackers and nature lovers to enjoy this beautiful corner of Mark Twain National Forest.
