About

Nature lovers will appreciate the beauty of Dogwood Canyon Nature Park. It’s worth the short drive out of town to take in the more than 10,000 acres of natural beauty. Hike through high ridges and deep hollows covered in oak, pine and cedar, trout fish or take a fly fishing lesson, or tour the numerous scenic waterfalls by bike. Groups can make reservations for segway tours. Tram tours also feature highlights of the park’s history, including being built in 1990 by the founder of Bass Pro Shops, John L. Morris. The canyon is expanding and undergoing extensive renovations at the end of 2015. A new Grist Mill, Welcome Center, Canyon Grill and Restaurant, education center, tree house, and Little Indian Stables are all in the works.
