About Crescent Hills

The Crescent Hills are a small, relatively low-elevation mountain range located in southern Missouri. The range features a series of gently rolling hills and ridges, with the highest point reaching just over 1,500 feet above sea level. The terrain is predominantly forested, with a mix of hardwood and pine trees covering the slopes. While not as dramatic or rugged as some of the other mountain ranges in the Ozarks region, the Crescent Hills offer a peaceful and scenic setting for outdoor recreation.
