Great place for fried catfish walleye and other country food. Bring your appetite, the portions are big! Right down the road from Mammoth Spring State Park so it would probably be a good idea to pair up the two in one drive.

A really cool state park just across the Missouri state line. It is the area where a massive underground cave collapsed, leaving behind some really cool looking canyons. Be ready to hike!
