Hiking : Roaring River

Deer Leap Trail

This is a short .2 mile hike up above the spring that feeds Roaring River, and above the trout hatchery. You can get on the trail near the cabins just north of the CCC Lodge, or on the northeast side of the hatchery, near the spring. Be prepared to climb some stairs here to get up to the observation deck and boardwalk. It's worth the climb, though, as the view of the fish hatchery below is outstanding.

Roaring River offers exceptional trout fishing, swimming, camping, hiking & biking, and simply relaxing in the beautiful Ozark Mountains in southern Missouri.
