Trail Overview

The West Star Flatwoods trail is primarily composed of gravel, with minimal bumps and potholes. However, it is susceptible to washouts in one area, approximately halfway through the trail, following heavy rainfall. When navigating the trail, keep an eye out for the diverse and vibrant flora, including trees and wildflowers. The area is particularly breathtaking in early spring, as it is home to the largest known high-quality upland flatwoods natural community in Missouri.
