The Ozark Highlands

A view of the Ozark Highlands

The pine-oak forests, woodlands and savannas of the Ozark Highlands and Ouachita Mountains – together known as the Interior Highlands – are a place where black bears roam and eagles soar. This is the largest remnant of a landscape that once stretched from Oklahoma to the middle Appalachians and Eastern Seaboard.
