We had a lot of fun. Chose a pretty advanced section right off the bat with steep drops, big rocks, bis snags, and deep water holes. Got stuck in a big one....that's why you take friends!! None of the trails are marked, so it gets a little nerve wrecking trying to find your parked vehicle again without gps.
It’s so awesome in this part of Missouri! Come out see all the Cedars and Pines, plus the landscaping and what looks like some new roads. Please nobody dump any trash out this way.
Nice little trail and recreation area off in the Gladetop Park area.
I absolutely love going here. There are some gorgeous views. We ride our side by side here, lots of service roads to ride.
Small area to camp 7 days a week it’ll have RVs and ATVs. Unless you’re going super early before the weekend there is no spots.
