Description
Experience autumn tranquility on the Ozark Trail, and travel from the Current River to Klepzig Mill! This little-known hike will bring you through lush hillsides and unique geology. At the end, the historic Klepzig Mill still stands today. Take in the nature and history of the Ozarks on this beautiful trek!
The Ozark Trail is a lovely, year-round destination for hiking, but it especially shines in the fall. Be sure to visit the Ozark Trail Association website for more information and opportunities.
This segment of the trail is 4.5 miles one-way, so a shuttle will be provided. Bring a lunch (if desired) and plenty of water. Sunscreen, bug spray, snacks, hats, and hiking boots are always recommended.
This event is hosted by the Ozark Riverways Foundation, the official friends group of the park. Find out more by visiting ozarkriverwaysfoundation.org
