More about SOTO:

Explore 460 acres of natural Ozark Mountain Forest with self-guided hanging trails, a spring-fed mountain creek for swimming, fishing, snorkeling (bring your own gear), river tubing (tubes provided) and fun stuff like skipping rocks and catching minnows.

In this natural setting you’ll see bald eagles, blue heron, mountain goats, raccoons, otter, fox, and many beautiful birds. You’ll hear tree frogs and bullfrogs at night, see fireflies and bats (our friends that eat the mosquitoes). In the wilderness sky, you’ll see constellations, stars, planets and orbiting satellites.
