Point of Interest
Five-mile, double-loop hiking and mountain biking trail, with a short segment also open to horses, where it connects with the cross-state Ozark Trail. A portion of the trail also follows part of the Marble Creek Section of the Ozark Trail. The lake loop roughly parallels the shoreline of Crane Lake, while the South Loop passes through a series of glades, shut-ins, old fields, and oak-hickory forest.
