Mental Wellness at Ozark National Scenic Riverways
Sometimes you just need a moment to pause, reflect, and unplug. The mental challenges invite you to explore the park to improve your mental health. Whether it’s nature journaling near Alley Spring, stretching on one of the many greenspaces, or capturing beautiful photos of the landscapes around you, the mental challenges give you a chance to connect with yourself and your surroundings.
Challenge 2: Refresh at Big Spring
Rejuvenate your mind and spirit at Big Spring while embracing the soothing water sounds. Reflect on nature's gifts or just let your mind wander as the water flows by. You can even settle at a picnic table to observe the details around you or walk or roll on Slough Trail to view the spring up close.
