Cedar Creek Trail - Mark Twain National Forest

The Cedar Creek Trail located southeast of Columbia offers mountain bike trails that allow riders to negotiate low ridges and tributaries of Cedar Creek, forest, and tallgrass prairie land. The trail offers approximately 36 miles of riding area with difficulty levels ranging from easy to difficult. The trail offers an excellent opportunity to view over 16,000 restored acres in the Cedar Creek Ranger District and various wildlife habitats.

Very backcountry and horses are allowed so it is advised to ride with buddies, not alone. Several low creek crossings and property lines to cross using the gates. Make sure to sign in at the trailhead kiosk so USFS knows you visited!
