Ellington is in close proximity to Clearwater Lake and Dam, the Current River Conservation Area, and Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park. Many of its businesses cater to campers and tourists taking advantage of these and other natural preserves. The TransAmerica Trail, a cross-country bicycling route stretching from [[Virginia]] to [[Oregon]], passes through the city, which opened a bike hostel for riders in 2014. Ellington is also home to the Reynolds County Fair, held every September.<ref>http://www.ellingtonmo.com/outdoors/</ref>
The 21 Drive In, one of only 13 drive-in movie theaters still operating in Missouri, is about 15 miles south of Ellington on Highway 21.
