Trail Notes:
Also accessible from this trailhead is the Lake Wappapello Section of the Ozark Trail.
Lake Wappapello State Park Trail also connects down the line with University Forest.
There is close to 100 miles of riding accessible just from this trail's trailhead.
Normally, the trail is well marked, there are creek crossings, deadfall to negotiate, and a few
hills to climb that make this ride fun, but no real big hazards. This seems to be a storm prone
area of the state, however, and the trail may be impassable due to downed trees and debris
any time a sever storm moves through. Call ahead of time, especially if you're driving far, to
check out the trail conditions.
