Directions: Take I-44 to the Newburg/Doolittle exit and turn south on Hwy
T. Pass through Doolittle and drive ~2 miles to Newburg. Stay on T through the town (watch
the speed limit), crossing RR tracks and the Little Piney river, then turn right on P.
After approximately 3 miles turn left on gravel County Road 7550 (the "Mill
Creek" sign is currently down 2/6/00) and follow this road ~2 mi. to the picnic area.
Turn left over a bridge to cross Mill Creek and you will see trailheads along the road to
your right.
Trail Information: A network of trails (15 miles total) consisting
of a ridge trail and 5 loops that run into the valleys and along streams and springs.
Mostly excellent running surfaces, but it gets technical with rocks and bedrock on some
hills. Cool natural bridge with a spring flowing through. Mountain bikers and horses also
use the trail.
Miscellaneous Information: You will probably need a map, unless you
enjoy getting lost =) Maps are available at the Mark Twain National Forest Headquarters
I-44 -> Southernmost Rolla Exit (Kingshighway aka Business Loop) -> Fairgrounds Rd.
