The Huzzah Conservation Area covers more than 6,000 acres of dense forest, peaceful creeks, and impressive bluffs. At the center of this landscape is the Ozark Trail, which features the ruins of the Scotia Furnace from the 1870s. This site represents a brief but significant period in Ozark history, marked by iron production that relied on charcoal and timber. The area is rich in wildlife, including deer, turkeys, and bobcats, while the Meramec River and Huzzah and Courtois Creeks support thriving populations of bass and crayfish.
