Central Pond FSR 2144

The Central Pond FSR 2144 is a mild-weight gravel forestry road that leads through the St Francis Mountains within Mark Twain National Forest. The road features gravel at its foundation, but in spots, the trail fades to dirt or mud. On the hills and grades, it has a tendency to form ruts and washes, at minimum being washboarding and mounding. There are also water collection spots roughly a foot deep, including the small feeder creek crossings at Peters Creek, this also being the lowest point in the trail. Along the route, there are also many camp-able cutouts. This is a great warmup trail to start exploring the Fredericktown sector of Mark Twain National Forest.
