        Site information

        Solitude reigns in the Roger Pryor Pioneer Backcountry, a 60,000-acre tract adjacent to Echo Bluff State Park. The backcountry is part of Pioneer Forest, which is owned by the L-A-D Foundation. It is Missouri's largest privately owned forest. The foundation donates its lease of the backcountry’s 70 miles of trail to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources for the enjoyment of visitors to Missouri State Parks.
