Sutton Bluff ATV 10 - SB 10

Trail Overview

Sutton Bluff ATV 10, also known as East Buzzard, with the legal/emergency ID SB 10, is a 50-inch and under restricted trail within the Sutton Bluff OHV trail system, managed by the Mark Twain National Forest Salem Unit. The SB 10 is a part of the smaller "southwest section" of Sutton Bluff OHV. Summary of the entire track staring at the west trailhead, SB 10 begins on the ridgetop at the eastern end of the FS 2677A, heading east from the west trailhead gate and quickly dropping downhill via switchbacks to the valley bottoms, where it crosses a feeder creek of the Bee Fork, to shortly climbs back uphill via more switchbacks to the ridgetop where trail ends at the east trailhead along the Reynolds County Road 852. The SB 10's notable core elements include a natural coarse gravel-dirt path, featuring whoops, loose cobbles, mini boulders, natural rock slabs, tree roots, with small water crossings and water collection spots. To enjoy this trail and OHV system, obtain the required Sutton Bluff permit from Mark Twain National Forest, and if intending to use an ATV on Reynolds County Roads to commute between trails, obtain the Reynolds County ATV/UTV permit as well, in accordance with Missouri state laws.

Difficulty

The SB 10 is given a base rating of 3/10, for having small 3-12 inch water crossings and water collection spots, with steep grades throughout the majority of the track, occasional small 3-12 inch fallen trees, tree roots acting as mini 3-8 inch ledges, loose 4-10 inch cobbles laying loose in the trail, 10 to 18 inch mini boulders and natrual slabs present on edges or mostly buried within the ground as part of the path. Difficulty can increase, from heavy use and a lack of maintenance, large 12-inch-plus fallen trees blocking the trail, in wet or rainy conditions, inclement weather, or from damage sustained from flash flooding, and if actively flooding, consider the trail closed.
