Whether you’re a novice or an expert, you can set up alongside the Roaring River itself and try your angling skill and try to catch some local trout. Or instead, you can spread out on one of the many riverside beaches and enjoy the ambiance of the river as the water tumbles over rocks. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a bald eagle.Also just a short trip away from Viney Creek is Dogwood Canyon Nature Park near Kimberling City.

History buffs will enjoy an afternoon spent at the Golden Pioneer Museum. Just south of the campground at Viney Creek Recreation Area, the Golden Pioneer Museum focuses on both the Native American populations of the region as well as the pioneers who showed up in the 1800s. With a wide variety of exhibits and collections, you can see rare glassware, Civil War artifacts, crystals and gemstones, and arrowheads.Animal lovers will enjoy the experience of the Promised Land Zoo. You can drive through the 120-acre safari park and watch as deer, bison, elk, antelope, and more come up to your car. Or instead, you can enjoy a stroll through the enclosed Parakeet Paradise, where parakeets can fly freely. You’ll even be given some bird treats on a stick, and since the birds are so comfortable with people, it isn’t uncommon for them to land on visitors. Not only that, but the park often has a lot of baby animals that need some love and care, and visitors are welcome to partake in feeding them. What better way is there to start the day than by feeding a baby zebra?Just across the border into Arkansas is the Blue Spring Heritage Center. This nature park/historic site is a tranquil place to spend the day. Due to its unique features, this site has been considered a tourist attraction since 1948. Today, you can stroll through the various gardens and see native wildflowers and crops as well as medicinal herbs. You can also stroll along the edge of the Blue Spring, which is said to have healing capabilities. You can also visit Bluff Shelter, which has signs of human involvement, both domestic and ritual, dating back to 8000 BCE.While camping at Viney Creek Campground, you may need to stock up on supplies or fuel up the rental motorhome. Gas stations and grocery stores can be found along Route 86, which runs south of Viney Creek.When experiencing the Ozarks, why not indulge in some local flavor? Some freshly caught trout or catfish is a great way to end the evening, especially if you hooked it yourself. If not, the local diner is sure to have what you want.
