Henning Conservation Area protects White River Hills texture

Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area is a good reminder that Taney County is not only theaters and lake coves. MDC places the area in the White River Hills of western Taney County, on the west side of Branson, with steep oak-hickory hills, glades, Roark Creek, trails, an overlook, and a lookout tower.

That landscape is local color with a practical source. If a resident or visitor wants to understand the hills around Branson, the MDC page is a better anchor than travel copy.

Use the conservation-area page for allowed activities, trail information, closures, and area rules. Conservation areas are not the same as city parks or state parks, even when they sit close to the same visitor corridor.
