About Birch Tree

Tucked into the rolling hills and dense woodlands of the Missouri Ozarks, Birch Tree offers quiet, easygoing living in Shannon County. Situated right along Highway 60 just south of Mountain View, the town sits among open pastures and scenic forest ridges. It makes a great home base for outdoor enthusiasts, placing you just a short drive from world-class floating on the Jacks Fork and Current rivers, as well as endless trails in the surrounding Mark Twain National Forest.
