Tourism - Visit, Play, Live!
It is no longer secret, McDonald County is a tourism and visitor paradise.
One can enjoy an afternoon in McDonald County floating the Elk River and Big Sugar rivers. The Elk River is rated a class I-II, making it ideal for beginners or just plain relaxing. Lay back, and enjoy the scenic environment, experience nature to its fullest.
Our rivers offer gorgeous scenery with many "rest stops" and clean, cool, clear water! After you get done on the water, there is no better way to cool off on a hot day than to visit Bluff Dwellers Cave. The County is full of natural beauty, bike & hiking trail - visit McDonald County today!
