Hiking/Equestrian/Mountain Biking
When completed,
the Ozark Trail
will stretch
nearly 1000 miles
through some of
the most scenic country
in the United States.
Much of the trail is on
state or federal land,
but some sections
cross private property.
Respect the rights
and property of landowners.
Close all gates, stay away from timber and mining operations, livestock,
homes, etc.
On private land,
all risk and responsibility
is that of the hiker,
not the landowner.
