Located near a beautiful OVERLOOK along the Trail of Four Winds in
the Lake of the Ozarks State Park.
Placed with permission of the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources.
If you park in the right spot and take the right trail the total
round trip distance will be 2.5 miles.
I've given this a difficulty rating of 2.5 because no matter where
you park you will need to be able to read a trail map.
TRAIL OF FOUR WINDS
Trail of Four Winds -- 16.5 miles -- hiking, backpacking, bicycling
and equestrian.
Take the challenge and view the vistas. Hike, bicycle or ride
horseback through some of the most scenic and challenging
landscapes in the park.
The trailhead for this rugged trail is located on Hwy. 134, 1.2
miles past the trail information center. Equestrian parking is
located on one side of the highway while parking for all-terrain
bicycles and hikers is on the other.
The red outer loop is marked in a clockwise direction with red
arrows and blazes and travels 13.0 miles back to the trailhead.
Several connectors marked with white arrows and blazes allow the
user to choose the distance traveled. After traveling down the
first white connector, you have a choice of staying to the left for
3.2 miles or following the split to the right up to the overlook
and make the trail six miles back to the trailhead. The second
white connector brings the user back across a gravel road to the
trailhead for a total of 5.5 miles.
If the user were to travel the entire route including all
connectors it would be a total of 16.5 miles. Hikers and horseback
riders may lengthen their journey by using this trail to connect to
the two-mile Squaw’s Revenge Trail marked with green.
