Nice hiking trails. Skunk Hollow Trail, Brown, back to Camp area 1, to Deer Run Trail (Red). Blue trail was closed due to bridge out.
This was an absolutely wonderful visit to a state park for a quick day-trip for a couple of Kansas Citians. We decided to combine all of the trails except for “Deer Creek,” which totaled us to 5.5 miles/2.5 hours of hiking at a steady walking pace. The difficulty is mild, only becoming challenging on some steeper inclines. I found many types of mushrooms and had quite a lovely time, especially with the sun setting over the lake.
Great maintained trail. A few small lakes. Ozark terrain. Hardly any traffic
