"Temp" gallery I created for our friends the Thurstons around Apr-May 2018 for their Branson trip

There are 2 ways to check out the spots. The EASIEST way is to go to "SPOTS" below, there you can simply click (GO) beside each spot & your native Google Maps app will immediately open it so you can navigate to it. That way, you don't have to download or install anything. It's the easiest way and absolutely works, the only thing is you don't really get an idea of where the spots are vs where you are now, as you would using my custom map (which is a lot like reading a map/Atlas).

The BEST way is more complicated, but will give you a "bird's eye overview" of where you are now & what spots you're approaching on the way, so you can see which spots you're coming up on that are on the way vs ones that would take you off your route.

To do it this way, using my custom map, first download "My Maps" by clicking here. Then come back to this page and click here for my custom map. You want to view "layer" 04 those has the spots (tap on the white area near the bottom).

-----SPOTS-----

BRANSON Falls Village (GO) is your resort. 800-456-0009

Scenic Overlook (GO) is a scenic overlook on the right-hand side right beside ARK 7, a VERY QUICK stop. This is one I recommend, it is RIGHT ON THE WAY (assuming you are heading North on ARK 7 out of Russellville).

Round Rock/Top (GO) is a short 1 mile hike or so right off of ARK 7 on the left-hand side, near the same area as the "scenic overlook."

Ozark Cafe (GO) is in Jasper and is a nice eatery.

Pruitt (GO) is a scenic & fun spot right on the way just as you're leaving Jasper on ARK 7, with little hiking involved, you'll see it crossing a bridge on ARK 7 if you pass on.

Collier Homestead (GO) is a nice hiking spot but it's a good deal out of the way going from Russellville to Branson.

Falling Water Waterfalls (GO) is a VERY fun area, a 15 ft waterfall that's always running and plenty deep for jumping into, but also way out of the way (and about 2 miles of rutty dirt paths involved).

Cracker Barrel Arkadelphia (GO) is just that, a Cracker Barrel in Arkadelphia ARK (about halfway between here and Branson, roughly).
