Directions:  
From Springfield, take Hwy 60 west for about 15 miles to Hwy 413.  Turn south on
Hwy 413 and follow for 8.4 miles to Wire Road.  Turn west on Wire Road and drive
to Trailhead parking on the right.

GPS Co-ordinates:
Not available at this time.

Trailer Parking:
Very limited, and because of how it's set up, it would be hard to maneuver in.
There is another trailhead located around the corner.  I didn't know about it at
the time I checked this place out, so I don't know what it is like.

Trail Maps:
Yes, available at the trailhead, by calling the above phone number, or by
printing out a color topo map from:
www.mdc.mo.gov/documents/area_brochures/8307map.pdf

Miles of Trails:
3.7 mile loop and linear.

Season:
Year-round.
*Caution.  Open to hunters during hunting seasons.

Fees:
No day use fees.

Equestrian Camping:
Not allowed.

Trail Notes:
Trails are marked with brown signs.  Pretty easy riding.  Terrain is gently rolling,
or a big field.  Do not ride during wet weather.  The field across the road from the
trailhead gets very boggy when it's wet.  There is a section of trail running along
the stream bank.  That trail is hiking only and not part of the multi-use trail.

Cart/Wagon Driving:
Unknown at this time.  Researching now.

Water Available:
Drinking Water:  Not available.
Water for horses:  A creek for your horse, but horses are strictly forbidden from
entering the creek, so you may want to bring a bucket in which to collect the water.

Other Facilities:
No facilities at all.

Hiking, hunting, mountain bike riding, fishing, nature study and photography.
