Trail Overview

Section 22 (FS 3664) and Butler County Road 431 is a gravel road, made up of Butler County right of way and partly within the Poplar Bluff Unit of Mark Twain National Forest. The gravel road begins heading north off Missouri Route PP, along the Crooked Branch and Cane Creek along its track, placed over rolling hills along the Butler County countryside and homesteads, before diving into the short dense forest section, to shortly end at the next public road, being Sheehy Road FS 3741, which heads north, shortly followed by a private property line marked by a wooden fence. From this endpoint, users must turn around and head back the way they came or continue on Sheehy Road.

Difficulty

Section 22 is given a base rating of 1/10 for being a maintained gravel road with mild erosion and gravel washes on the mild hills on which the track is laid out. It is safe to expect the basic gravel road complications, such as potholes, washboarding, and mounding of the gravel. Difficulty can increase in times of wet conditions, heavy use, and through a lack of maintenance.
