Explorer's Guide - The Ozarks Includes Branson, Springfield and Northwest Arkansas

The first comprehensive guide to the Ozarks, including Branson. The Ozarks is fast becoming the destination of choice for music lovers looking for old-time bluegrass jams or the bright lights of Branson; culture mavens who hew towards hog-calling contests or classical-piano concerts; foodies seeking tin-roofed rib shacks or 5-star cuisine; and outdoors enthusiasts seeking lazy rivers, rolling hills, sparkling lakes, and wildlife galore. This is the first in-depth, native's-eye-guide to a region that sprawls across Missouri and Arkansas, and will lead readers to the best--and strangest--of the Ozarks, with anecdotes, lore, and historical trivia to flavor the trip. This guide includes hundreds of opinionated listings of inns, B&Bs, resorts, motels, cabins, and campgrounds. A multitude of dining recommendations span the spectrum of taste and budget. 12 maps, 100 black & white photographs, index.
