Trail Overview

Womble Hollow FS 2481 is a semi-maintained single-width gravel road that leans towards a natural improved road over its track and is within the Potosi Unit of Mark Twain National Forest. The fading gravel road several times turns into a dirt, coarse gravel and natural terrain path overall doing one slow drop down in elevation between the two main spines of the ridge, before finishing up by climbing back up to a similar top elevation of the ridge, to meet a former fork where the trail turns west becoming very natural on the last 550 foot of the track, where the MVUM sanctioned road ends, via walking in another 550 feet the road concludes to purple paint and a wire cable over the road at the private property line.
