Ozark Mountains, Woodland Mead Park

Last Known Status

Open

This part of the Ozark Mountains is home to four separate trail systems (blue, yellow, orange and green) that connect to each other via public roads in Fairfield Bay. The town is offroad friendly, and offers multiple staging areas to choose from, plus ATV and UTV riders can travel to and from hotels, restaurants, shops, campgrounds and the Marina within Fairfield Bay.

The trails are mostly wide and easy dirt roads with occasional stream crossings, shallow mud pits and moderately rocky terrain. The scenery is top notch, and some of the trails lead to waterfalls. Visitors should note that this trail system is open to ATVs and UTVs only, no dirt bikes or motorcycles.

The trails are open year-round during daylight hours but camping and overnight parking is not permitted at the staging areas or alongside the trails. ATV tours and kayak rentals are available. For details contact Fairfield Bay Chamber of Commerce.
