Park/Rec Area: Withrow Springs State Park
Region: Ozarks
Length: 1.25 miles
Time: 3-4 hours
Difficulty: Moderate
Description: The Forest Trail follows an old roadway on
the western side of the park running northeast
to southwest. The trail’s starting point is 3/4
mile northeast of the office on Spur 23 West.
The trail ends where it intersects the road
between the office and baseball park. Many
people like to walk from the campground to
the trailhead, then walk the trail’s length to
where it intersects the road, then walk downhill
(southeast) to the office and back to the
campground. This trip is about 21/4 miles and
will take 3-4 hours; however, the trail’s length
is only 11/4 miles. This trail is an ideal setting to
see many animals such as deer and squirrels
which feed on the acorns and hickory nuts provided by the oak and hickory trees comprising
this forest.
