    This section of the Ozark Trail spans roughly 24 miles, weaving past brooks, springs, and oak-pine woodlands. Named in honor of trail visionary John Roth, this segment was the first built by the Ozark Trail Association and helped transform the trail into a continuous long-distance route. With abundant water sources and connections to Trace Creek and Karkaghne sections, it’s a favorite for backpackers, mountain bikers, and those seeking a lovely, peaceful day hike.
