Trail Overview

Blue Ridge Road is a spur offering additional access to Mark Twain National Forest. This route eventually dissolves into no discernible trail and should be considered an out-and-back. The route is characterized by heavy foliage and some chunky rocks scattered throughout, including a rock step section. There is little room to turn around without making your way toward the end of the trail, where one can find dispersed camping opportunities as well as some smaller ATV-accessible routes. Leave no trace, and pack out what you pack in.

Even in wet conditions because of previous days rain the trail is easy to moderate until the rock shelf towards the end of the trail. On another note the trail is about twice as long as it is indicated on the on x map. the end of the trail seems to be a turnaround at private property the turnaround I would rate more towards a five. suggest turning around just before that unless you're in a well-built vehicle. there is an opening just above the turnaround that is plenty wide to back up and turn around.
