Busiek State Forest, Springfield, Missouri

The trails are nice and wide and well worn, but they can be sort of rough, especially the further back into the area you go, so make sure you wear your boots.

This stretch of trail is on the east side of the park--my favorite side.  It has the nice creek, a hill with a glade and a nice view, as well as pretty spots in the woods.  (Also, the shooting range is on the west side.  Not that you'll run the risk of getting shot but the sound is a bit annoying.  A PDF map is available here.
