Hugging the southern border of Illinois and Kentucky, this diverse region is home to some of the most spectacular natural attractions in the state. Here, you will find the breathtaking Garden of the Gods rock formations, the tranquil Bell Smith Springs wilderness area, the majestic Cache River Natural Area, and the iconic Cave-in-Rock hideaway spot. Whether you are planning a day of hiking, swimming, sightseeing, or camping, you will have no problem finding a spot where you can immerse yourself in nature. However, do not be fooled by the name. This region has nothing to do with the Ozarks that cover Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
