This section of the OHT skirts along Richland Creek Wilderness, a beautiful, 12,000-acre remote stretch of the Ozark National Forest known for its steep bluffs, clear creeks, and dense oak-hickory forest. Twin Falls and Richland Falls are in the heart of the wilderness, but due to Forest Service regulations, there are no designated cross-country trails through the area, and reaching them often means creek crossings, bushwhacking, and careful navigation; however, there are former logging roads that provide some access, with camping and fishing allowed with a permit. If you are prepared for an off-trail adventure, the isolation and beauty are worth the exploration.
