## Overview

Experience nature and adventure at historic White Rock Mountain! This National
Forest Recreation Area features three unique and rustic natural stone cabins
and a large natural stone lodge built in the 1930s by the Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC). Each features a stone fireplace new, antique, and
original wood furniture handcrafted by the CCC. Wind, rain and natural
elements had caused the deterioration of the buildings over the years. In 1987
a volunteer group, Friends of White Rock, began a project to renovate the
historic structures. With a lot of commitment and hard work, the lodge and
cabins were restored to their original state in 1991. White Rock Mountain also
offers nine primitive family camping sites. These easily accessible shaded
campsites include tents pads, fire rings, grills, picnic tables and access to
restrooms and water. Small RVs or pop-up campers can be accommodated at a few
sites.

## Recreation

White Rock Mountain is the hub of several national forest hiking trail systems
including the easy 2 mile trail around the mountain top rim, the 17 mile
Shores Lake/White Rock loop trail, and the renowned 170 mile Ozark Highlands
Trail. Other recreational activities include swimming, boating (non-motorized)
or fishing at Shores Lake Recreation Area; swimming, floating or fishing the
National Scenic Mulberry River; Mill Creek and other National Forest ATV
trails; mountain biking, hunting and more.

## Facilities

The grounds at White Rock Mountain are open year-round. There is a gravel
parking area, clean vault toilets, and eight family picnic units with grills
and tables. The facility features four CCC crafted shelters along the White
Rock Rim Trail that offer spectacular views. Overnight parking for the Ozark
Highlands Trail access is available onsite.  
  
The lodge and three cabins are available for rent at White Rock Mountain. The
lodge and cabins have electricity and running water. All units are equipped
with bathrooms and a full kitchen. Each kitchen includes a stove,
refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, crock pot, dishes, cooking utensils, and
cooking pots and pans. The furnishings feature new, antique, and original CCC
furnishings. Each building has a large private patio with a charcoal grill and
fire pit. There is no air conditioning; the stone lodge and cabins stay cool
in the summer months. Heat is provided by wood burning stoves during the
winter and firewood is provided. Linens, towels and bedding are not provided.
Guests should pack food, towels, pillows, blankets or sleeping bags, and all
other necessary overnight supplies.  
  
There are nine family campsites at White Rock. The sites do not have electric
or water hookups. Sites are equipped with tent pads, picnic tables, fire
rings, grills and lantern poles. There is access to drinking water and an
accessible vault toilet within close proximity to all sites. Firewood is
available for purchase onsite.  
  
Visit the onsite General Store for information, souvenirs, snacks, pizza,
beverages, maps, firewood and other backcountry supplies.

## Natural Features

White Rock Mountain is 2,309 feet above sea level and received its name from
the appearance of the lichen on the sheer bluffs that appear white from a
distance. Guests at White Rock can enjoy incredible scenic views from the
lodge, cabins, campground and bluffs. The forest is home to a large variety of
wildlife including deer, bear, bald eagles, turkey and more. In the fall
season White Rock Mountain offers unrivaled opportunities for taking in the
bright red, orange and yellow autumn foliage that sweeps across the Ozark
National Forest. The forest around White Rock is also a waterfall hunter's
paradise featuring several great falls located in the surrounding area.
