The Lincoln Hills region of Missouri north of St.
Louis is often called the Northern Ozarks. In the north is Hannibal, which conjures up images of
the steamboat era and has become virtually
synonymous with Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, and Huck Finn. South of
Hannibal is
the Little Dixie Scenic Byway that travels atop limestone
bluffs and through the real river towns of Clarksville and
Louisiana. At the foot of the Lincoln Hills in Lincoln County is
Cuivre River State Park, one of Missouri's largest and most rugged. |
