Day 6 - Dogwood Canyon

Dogwood Canyon is a great nature park a few miles away from Big Cedar.  It consists of 3.5 miles out and back of paved trails along well maintained grounds, waterfalls and trout filled streams.  Janell and I had the bright idea of letting the kids ride bikes and us jog alongside.  The photos that follow were from the beginning of the trail -- they were too far ahead of us near the end.






The trail crosses the Arkansas state line about 3 miles in.  The kids did the limbo in.  Janell and I just crawled.



The place really is great.  Several hours of nature and no cell phone reception.  Not too shabby.

After our trek, we stopped by a berry farm nearby.  In addition to picking your own to take home, the place has a menu of great tasting blueberry muffins, cobblers and, my oh my, blueberry pancakes.




We ended our day at Branson Landing -- enjoying the fountain show choreographed to rock music and some Mexican food along Lake Taneycomo.

    Hi there Ferguson Clan! We miss you guys already. Looks like you are off to a great start of creating wonderful memories. Thanks for the ideas on this blog. We've been to Big Cedar for the past 3 years and have never stopped by the berry farm, Branson Landing, or jumped off the cliffs. Happy Travels! Vicki
