Dogwood Mill

Dogwood Canyon Mill

This is the entrance to Dogwood Canyon. Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is a one-of-a-kind experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers of all ages. Covering 10,000 acres of pristine Ozark Mountain landscape, the park has miles of crystal-clear trout streams, dozens of cascading waterfalls, ancient burial caves, unique hand-built bridges and bottomless, blue-green pools.

With 9 miles of trails, be prepared to enjoy a nice walk.

On my last visit I took over 500 photos. If you want to photograph the waterfalls, use a DSLR camera with at least a 6 Stop Neutral Density filter. A tripod is a must. You can see the result on some nearby posts.

Falls in Dogwood Canyon

Indian Cliff Falls

Right out of the gate, this is the first thing you see once you enter Dogwood Canyon. This is a park in Lampe, Missouri with a three mile walk that goes through streams, waterfalls and scenic bridges.

For photographers this is a place you could spend days.

The Hunt is On!

cedar Valley Farms

This is part of the Three Creek Bassets pack that competes nationally in their hunting and tracking skills. This pack hunts every Sunday afternoon, September through April. Watching them get onto a scent and follow it is something to see!

Rockers

Big Cedar Lodge

This is a favorite photo of mine from Big Cedar Lodge. This would have been just as the sun was setting over Table Rock Lake and this is the upper floor of Falls Lodge. This is a great place to visit with an incredible amount of things to do. Or you could just watch the sunset.

Crossing

Big Cedar Lodge

Pedestrian Crossing sign at Big Cedar Lodge near Branson, MO. This place is full of all sorts of fun things like this. Driving on the property is an experience itself with these signs, shallow water crossings, waterfalls, gardens and more! If you visit, be sure to take your camera!

Waterfalls

Big Cedar Lodge

This is one of the many waterfalls at Big Cedar Lodge and Dogwood Canyon. It seems that nothing can be built in these two areas without adding a waterfall. There are so many streams that run this resort that many just flow across the road.

I will be visiting Dogwood canyon this weekend so watch for more photos. In the meantime click here for more photos: Big Cedar Lodge and Dogwood Canyon.

Peaceful Stream

Dogwood Canyon

This peaceful scene is from Dogwood Canyon, a beautiful area in Southwestern Missouri. A walk through this area is complete with streams, waterfalls and scenic structures. It is worth the visit.

Be sure to check back next week for some new photos from this crazy place.

 

Structure in Dogwood Canyon

Dogwood Canyon

The people who own Big Cedar Lodge have an overly scenic valley down the road from their resort near Branson. This place is loaded with waterfalls, scenic bridges, overlooks and even new mill that looks like an old one. This is a little stream running under some steps in the valley.

Next week I will be visiting again for some springtime photos. Be sure to look for lots of new photos.
