Wash Creek Road

Trail Overview

Wash Creek Road is comprised of Madison County Road 328 on the far west portion and Bollinger County Road 846 for the middle and far east portion. The road features riding parallel along the Wash Creek on the west end, then touches a small section of Mark Twain National Forest in the middle, eventually crossing the Hawn and Crooked Creeks alongside the Hawn Conservation Area all in the east portion, together giving the dynamic range of creeks, old homesteads, one lane bridges, and scenic landscapes that Missouri's hills and valleys are known to have. The road is rough in places featuring coarse creek gravel for a road surface with small natural rocks sticking out at the surface over moderately steep grades over the hills, and may include water splashes depending on the weather and creek volumes. All in all, a fun logistical, and scenic road to keep away from the paved roads, and promote continued exploration.
