Use this statewide Zone for Missouri-wide trail, stewardship, policy, funding, and organization topics. Local trail reports, club activity, event planning, and county-level questions belong in the regional and cross-state Zones listed below.
Missouri spans the Mississippi and Missouri river corridors, northern prairies, rolling farmland, Ozark hills, karst landscapes, springs, forests, conservation areas, state parks, and nationally significant trail systems. Its outdoor communities are shaped by major river towns, the Kansas City and St. Louis metro areas, the central Missouri corridor, the Ozarks, and statewide public-land and conservation networks.
We have divided it into these regions:
Missouri - North & River Corridor
Kansas & Missouri - Kansas City
Illinois & Missouri - St. Louis
Please go to those regions for local information, organizations, and topics, reserving this statewide Zone exclusively for statewide topics.
