Kimes Tower Road

Kimes Tower Road is an easy gravel forest road that winds through the mountains beneath a dense tree canopy. The route is generally smooth and well-maintained, with only occasional embedded rocks less than 6 inches in height. A series of gentle curves and elevation changes keeps the drive interesting while remaining suitable for most highway-registered vehicles. One of the highlights of the route is the expansive scenery visible directly from the road, with multiple overlooks offering impressive views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The combination of forested sections and open vistas gives the trail a classic Ozark mountain feel without requiring technical driving. Kimes Tower Road also serves as a useful connection into the surrounding National Forest trail network, making it a good scenic route or low-difficulty connector for riders and overland travelers exploring the area.
