Temperatures can ozark trail chair swing from chilly mornings to sweltering afternoons. Consider bringing several sets of clothing so you have options for hiking and spending time at camp.

Bring enough water for your trip or a way to purify water to make it safe to drink.

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the Missouri Ozarks on the Ozark Trail.

Water enthusiasts can make use of the park’s two swimming beaches, boat rentals and paved boat ramps. Park stores sell all of the necessary supplies for a day on the water. Year-round overnight accommodations include campsites, Outpost cabins and yurts. Comfy and roomy pants or shorts are best (hopefully with pockets, so kids can carry their own snacks and trash).

Material is durable and will stand up to heavy duty use. This hydration compatible backpack has a connection for a water bladder built in to the design. It also includes loops to hang your trekking poles when not in use.

It was pretty easy to make adjustments from the side door access. Size is perfect for day trips, smaller individuals, and teens. Great for hiking in warm weather, thanks to the breathable construction, mesh straps, and hydration bladder hook up.
