Mountain Biking Ozark Trail: North Trace
#41 of 169 mountain bike trails in Missouri
ahh another section of the Ozark trail. Fast and flowing with a guaranteed back woods experience. To begin your ride starting at DD trail head, take the trail to the left for about 1/2 of a mile to a very well marked 3 way intersection. Go left (North) to ride the North Trace section. From here it is 17 miles of well marked single track to hazel creek campground. The North Trace also gives you access to Council Buffs lake loop. See ozarktrail.com and gorctrails.com for more information.

From Potosi
Head 14 miles south on Hwy P, Right on Hwy C then make the first left on Hwy DD for 10 miles. Trail head is on left just north of Hwy 32. If you get to Hwy 32, you went about 100 yards too far.
As part of the OT100MTB event I rode a section of this trail from its junction with the Middle Fork section to where it crosses Martin Rd. The section was quite groomed for the race and was a real pleasure to ride. There were challenging ascents and ripping descents typical of the Ozark Trail. On the way to Martin Rd. I encountered many small stream crossings and the turn off trail to Council Bluff Recreation Area. A small section of one of the climbs consisted of recently worked bench cut that rerouted an earlier section. This trail's proximity to the Council Bluff Lake Trail and campground make it easily accessible for a fun out & back trip.
