A Pictorial Guide to Ha Ha Tonka State Park

Description

By H. Dwight Weaver
There are many places in the Missouri Ozarks noted for their beauty, intrigue, romance and history but to have it all in one spot is pure magic. At Ha Ha Tonka State Park the natural wonders and curiosities are blended with cultural artifacts in a most unique way. People who discover this gem of springs, sinkholes, natural bridges, caves, cliffs, woodlands, glades, savannas, hiss, hollows, lakes, trails, boardwalks, outlaw history and the ruins of a spectacular castle usually return again and again. Missourians have made it one of the state’s most treasured parks. It is located on the Niangua Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks where Daniel Boone and his son Nathan once trapped beaver and the Osage Indians lived. Very few books have been written about this retreat with its beautiful Indian name. This book takes you on the trails of wonder and history that comprise Ha Ha Tonka State Park. If you’ve never been there, it’ll make you want to go. If you have been there, it will probably reveal treats that you missed on past visits. There are more than 300 contemprary and vintage photos.
