Trail Notes:
This trail is well marked with gray diamonds and yellow blazes that is easy to follow. Most of it that we saw was two track that is overgrown and weedy. A small part of the main trail is gravel road riding. There are steep hills and rocky terrain to negotiate, as well as some creeks, low water crossings, a bridge, and pavement to cross. This trail connects to the trail system at Lake Wappapello State Park and also to the Wappapello Lake Section of the Ozark Trail. Over the last 5 years, many miles that were previously classed as trails are now classed as gravel roads.
