Clint, that is my area of greatest knowledge. My personal property is in 
Ozark County, near Caney Mountain Preserve. The Mark Twain National Forest 
has various large parts in Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Taney and other counties. 
Here is the url of the official site:
http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/marktwain/
The Forests are mostly just large, irregular-shaped pieces of natural 
forested hills and hollows. They sometimes enclose or wrap private property 
that existed before the Forest was established. For the twenty-five or so 
years I have owned and lived there I have not heard or seen any problems 
regarding coexisting with the designated forest areas. These are not 
heavy-use areas. The roads are long since well established. Deer and turkey 
hunters would be the most likely inconvenience. Some weekend party types 
might make some noise.

Do you have a good agent there? I know most of them and some are much 
better than others. Agents who live and work there will have the most 
current information as well as an understanding of the history. The better 
ones will disclose known negatives.
