Ozark County continues to be a destination for visitors who are looking for outdoor activities.

Justin Spencer, Board Member for the Ozark County Chamber of Commerce, says during a recent interview on KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program that there are many fishing opportunities with parts of Bull Shoals and Norfork Lakes as well as several streams in the county. Spencer also says that nature trails as well as a series of Grist Mills are attractions to the region.

Spencer says that several events take place during the year including the Taste of New Orleans event in February. Spencer says that many businesses continue to thrive in the region but that getting more reliable Broadband Services in the county is one of the biggest needs.
