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.
