Shepherd of the Hills State Park, State park in Taney County, Missouri, United States.
The park spans 1,011 acres of natural terrain with more than two miles of Roark Creek flowing through dense forests and rolling hills.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon announced the establishment of this park in December 2016, marking a significant expansion of protected lands in the region.
The park received its name in 2022 to honor Harold Bell Wright's novel, which depicts the lives of people in the surrounding Ozark Mountains.
Visitors can explore over 8 miles of hiking trails throughout the park while observing native wildlife and participating in educational programs.
The former community of Garber left behind a single-room schoolhouse within the park boundaries, preserving local educational heritage.
