If you are looking for a good place to hike in SW Missouri this place may be for you. It is 50 miles SE of Springfield, Missouri off highway 125 to a forest road named Skyline Drive. The terrain here in the Mark Twain National Forest varies from high forest to glades to strands of pine trees to a large valley with a large creek running through it. There is an old barn and the remains of a small mill in the valley. There are miles of trails. The difficulty is moderate. I think this area is an undiscovered gem if you want a hike fairly close to Springfield.
The trail head at Skyline Drive is about 6 miles or so east of Bradleyville, Missouri off highway 125. There is a map of the hike at the end of the video.
