Description

Tax Day is over and you are either paid up or going to jail. Either way the heck with it all LETS GO HIKING. Section 8 of the Ozark Highlands Trail is reportedly one of the more scenic on the trail system. The section is 20.9 miles long with several creek crossings. Water levels can make these crossings a safety concern. The starting point at Richland creek leaves the option of hiking section seven backwards if water levels are to high to safely cross the creeks on section 8. http://www.fs.fed.us/oonf/ozark/recreation/richlandcreekwilderness.html
