Black’s major attraction is the re developed Johnson Shut-ins State Park, which features an orientation center, retail stores, picnic areas and shelters, and an enclosed picnic shelter. A new boardwalk provides an easy access to the shut-ins and there are numerous areas to access the East Fork of the Black River for swimming and splashing. Hiking and trekking trails are also accessible from the park, including a little portion of the Ozark Trail that overlook the scour channel in the valley of the park. A short drive from Black MO vacation rentals and homes is the Elephant Rocks State Park which offers a spectacular sight of giant granite rocks standing end to end like a train of circus elephants.
