Spring Break is coming

Sam’s Throne recreation area is located in the Ozark National Forest in Jasper. Sam’s Throne provides a breathtaking hike. The 2 ½-mile trail begins in a forested region and quickly makes its way to the edge of a bluff. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 14 min to complete. This is a popular trail for birding, camping, and hiking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. This fairly easy trail allows you to take in an expansive view of trees and mountains visible in all directions.
