This 26‑mile Roaring River to Dogwood Canyon ride is a short but genuinely great run through southwest Missouri, starting at Dogwood Canyon Nature Park and finishing at Roaring River State Park. The pavement rolls through wooded hills and quiet backroads, giving you a steady mix of scenery without ever feeling rushed. It’s the kind of quick route that still delivers that classic Ozarks feel — clean curves, cool shade, and two of the region’s most beautiful parks on either side.
