Geocaching
Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played
throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with
GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers,
called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences
online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups,
with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.

OZONE RECREATION AREA:
Nestled amongst tall timber, The Ozone Recreation Area was
originally the site of a CCC camp during the late 1930s
and early 1940s.
The CCC, under Forest Service administration located at
Ozone Recreation Area, built many local roads, fought fire,
planted trees, built fire towers, and provided the basic
management foundation for the National Forest to develop
the outstanding scenery along the Scenic Byway.
Currently the campground and pavilion are next to the site
of the CCC camp. There
are 8 family camping units, camping trailers allowed but
no special facilities are available. Good picnicking, hunting
in season, with access to the Ozark Highlands Hiking trail.
Brush
and undergrowth have been cleared so that some of the structure
foundations are visible for visitors to see while strolling
through the site. Visitors can also access the Ozark Highlands
Trail from here. Trail
head parking is just across the highway from the camping
ground. Ozone Campground is located 18 miles north of Clarksville
on State 21 and is open all year. (Pleasant Hill
