See Some of the Ozarks Most Breathtaking Views While Hiking Centerpoint to Goat Trail

This trail might be called the Goat Trail, but we think it should be renamed the G.O.A.T. trail, as in Greatest of All Time, because we argue it leads to the best views in the Ozarks. But we’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves. To get to the Goat Trail, you’ll have to start at the Centerpoint Trail. The trailhead is located across the street from the Centerpoint Horse Camp and is easily found from the parking lot. Hop on the trail, and you’ll find yourself making your way down more than 1,000 feet in elevation. The majority of the trail is through the woods and is fairly rocky, but the views at the end are more than worth the hike.

Once you’ve gone almost 3 miles you’ll reach a fork; go right to pick up the Goat Trail. From here it’s only a short walk to Big Bluff and some truly heart-stopping views over the Buffalo River. Be sure to go through the hole in the rock (you’ll know it when you see it), as the views really open on the other side. The hike back is a doozy, so rest up and refuel before climbing out.
