From the trailhead ride approximately 1 mile where you can go either left or right. I recommend going right and riding the trail clockwise. Going left will give you a lot of technical uphill portions with roots and rocks. This trail is also open to horses and they do use it a lot, which is evident by the churned up trail in spots and adds to the technical aspect of the ride. There are numerous connector trails to bail out on or add to the distance of the ride. Warning! Lots of ticks during the summer and make sure you have spare tubes or patch kit and pump.
From Kaiser take Hwy 42 South about 2 miles to the enterance of Lake of the Ozarks State Park. Take State Park road 134 approximately 2.5 miles to the well marked trailhead. There is parking on both sides of the road.
