So when I hear the word "trails" I think off-road parks, since everything else is a designated road. If it's not a designated road, you're probably on private property. Hell, you may even be on private property on a designated road (but that may be a Kansas thing).

You can find some okay fire roads down in the Mark Twain area by Potosi. I’ve don’t the Trans Missouri Overland Trail a few time now. All pretty much dirt roads.

The best thing in Missouri, that I’ve found, is taking service roads to a field or something and doing a small group camp.

That’s what I’d like to try and do before it gets to hot out here. Run a couple roads to a camp site. Hang out, bonfire, laugh, music, food.

Probably going to be around the Eminence area.

We were in the MT forest a fair bit over the last little while and especially this weekend.
Potosi area and Sutton Bluff area and a bit of in between. All day trips.
Fun exploring some of the roads. All easy driving.
Lots and lots to see and explore still. There are a few places we will try and check off the list tomorrow.

I am thinking of a "Trans-Forest" or "Forest Loop" kind of a trip or drive in the near future.
The kiddo is off school so I am thinking we will start to scout and route in the coming week.

Where can I find the route for the Trans Missouri Overland Trail?

It is the forestry department legally you need to look at the MVUM Maps. Go a little bit further to Bradleyville south on 125 to glad top there is some nice trails
