The Rock Shelter at Blanchard Springs Recreation Area in the Ozark National Forest is a remarkable natural feature steeped in history and beauty. This massive overhang of rock, carved by centuries of erosion, provided shelter for early inhabitants of the region. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into the area’s geological and cultural heritage. Nestled among the lush forest and near the crystal-clear waters of Blanchard Springs, the shelter is easily accessible and a favorite spot for explorers seeking a blend of natural wonder and historical intrigue.
