Got a ride or trail to share ?
Kaintuck Trail west of Rolla Mo is an off-road, hilly, rocky, rutted, creek-filled 14 mile treasure in the Mark Twain National Forest. There is a 175' natural bridge with a creek running under it and large enough to walk through. The trails are both rough and steep in areas and meandering and pine-covered on ridgetops. There is a huge drained pond with a spring that flows 3 million gallons a day. The trails are marked well and easily followed with a map from the Forest website. One more note, the trail is multi-use, bikes must yield to horses. If you have some fat tires, and one, or better two, shocks on your ride, the Kaintuck is a fun and challenging trail.
Possum Hollow Ride is a fun and hilly road ride south of Farmington. Parking at Engler Park and pedaling East to H Hwy. Cross H Hwy onto Copenhagen and follow that to a right turn onto Old Fredericktown. Turn right at Possum Hollow and continue on a hilly ride to DD Hwy at Knob Lick. Make a left on DD for a short distance then a left on Knob Lick Rd. Follow Knob Lick Rd. to a left back onto Old Fred. where you can follow back to Engler Park. This ride is about 24 miles, has some houses with some dogs, but is a good example of rural riding around the Parkland.
