Richland Creek Wilderness (C-4)

Park/Rec Area: Richland Creek Wilderness
Region: Ozarks

Location: At the junction of Hwys. 7, 123 and 16 (Pelsor), turn east on 16 to Ben Hur; then south about 1 1/2 miles to Forest Road 1205, keep on Forest Road 1205 for 10-12 miles to Richland Creek Campground located on the eastern edge of the wilderness area. Much of the wilderness is bounded by Forest Road 1205 offering many access points.
