Trail Geography

The Current River as viewed from above, as it is from several points along this trail, is among Missouri’s most beautiful and inspiring landscapes. This trail takes users through dark hollows and along towering bluffs, beneath richly diverse hardwood and pine forests, across open glades offering sweeping vistas of the river valley below, and passing by waterfalls and clear, cold spring-fed streams. These are the landscape attributes which define the exceptional region, and this trail will provide intimate access to their beauties and mysteries.
