Sheehy Road - FS 3741

Trail Overview

Sheehy Road (FS 3741) is a natural gravel and dirt forest service road within the Poplar Bluff Unit of Mark Twain National Forest. Sheehy Road begins heading north where County Road 431/FS 3664 meets its northeast end at private property, First the road crosses a small brook with a splash level of water over loose cobbles and natural gravel, to then climb up and back down an erosion-rutted hill that makes up the bulk of this track, on the far north side of the track, there is another small brook splash level crossing, followed by a dirt and potential surface mud section before ending at a three point turnaround marking the end of the MVUM sanctioned road. From this endpoint, users must turn around, going back out as they entered, or continue on foot along the overgrown paths that branch from the turnaround.
