The Ruth & Paul Henning Conservation Area (named for the Beverly Hillbillies creator who loved Branson) offers some of the most accessible and rewarding hiking in the Ozarks right on Branson's doorstep. The Homesteaders Trail and Cuckold Creek Trail traverse varied terrain with significant elevation changes and rewarding overlook views. Dogwood wildflowers in spring and fall foliage make seasonal visits particularly spectacular. Best of all — it's completely free.
