Clear Creek North Side - FS 2269

Trail Overview

Clear Creek North Side (FS 2269) is a dirt and gravel forest service road within the Potosi Unit of Mark Twain National Forest. The dirty natural gravel surface track heads south from the Floyd Tower Road ridge, going into the treelines at a slight downhill grade to the middle section of the trail that rides a lowered ridge featuring gentle curves and elevation changes to the final hill, climbing a small spine peak along the ridge, ending at an opening featuring a great view southward towards the Clear Creek and the Smith Mill Valley. At this opening is the end of the MVUM-sanctioned road; users must continue down the paths continuing south of this opening on foot, or turn around and head back out the way they entered.
