Black blends quiet country living with easy access to some of the Ozarks’ most iconic landscapes. Set along the Black River in Reynolds County and a quick hop from Centerville, the community offers room to roam, star-filled skies, and a slower daily rhythm. Residents enjoy drives along scenic byways, local produce stands, and a tight-knit feel, while larger errands are an easy trip to nearby towns.
Weekend plans practically write themselves. Cool off in the sculpted pools of Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park, a regional favorite with clear water and rhyolite outcrops at Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park. Explore billion-year-old domes at Elephant Rocks State Park, or summit the state’s highest point within Taum Sauk Mountain State Park. Thousands of acres of forested hills invite hiking, hunting, and camping in the Mark Twain National Forest, while paddlers can expand their adventures to the spring-fed corridors of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Closer to home, anglers and floaters appreciate convenient river put-ins such as the K Bridge Access.
