Overview

The trail follows through heavy oak forests punctuated with small meadows.  It can be accessed at Brush Arbor trailhead (Walton Chapel on the map) and Upalika Pond trailhead in the center of the section, plus the Wrangler trailhead to the east.  Water is available near all trailheads except Wrangler, and in creeks along the trail.  A three-mile gap separates this section from the Wappapello section.

This section is maintained by the Ozark Trails Club with other local volunteers.  Contact Fred Stenger for more information.
