Cape Gir. Co 521 / 520

The Cape Girardeau County Roads 521 and 520 form a great scenic gravel road and loop with the main road of the area (US-61, with help from Cape Co 510). The roads were constructed around two creeks in the area, Hughes Creek and Buckeye Creek. It features a natural low-water bridge traversing over bedrock at the bottom of Hughes Creek, for roughly 85 feet long. The road has a few water collection spots before it routes uphill as it passes I-55, then it goes over a few rolling hills with concrete-bottomed low-water bridges in the two valleys. These cross Buckeye Creek. A nice little road to experience if you want to adventure off the main road. Be cautious of heavy rain and creek levels, this is the potential to flash flood.
