This highlight includes the entire length of the Frisco Highline Trail starting in Springfield, Missouri USA all the way Bolivar, Missouri, USA. I have included pictures of the major rest stops and all of the bridges on this route. Official information on the trail can be accessed here: https://ozarkgreenways.org/explore/greenway-trails/frisco-highline-trail/ This web site includes the history of the rail line and towns along it as well as a great resource for amenities along the trail. A few quick tips to consider when looking at riding this awesome trail: 1. Although Paved on both ends ( about 8 miles on each end ) the trail is crushed rock and the Northern portion has some challenging issues with rough gravel and washouts. I do NOT recommend using a road bike on the unpaved portions. A Gravel Bike, Touring bike with wide tires or a Mountain Bike are good choices. 2. This trail has lots of Shade! 3. If you do not like gorgeous rural country side, creeks, forests, rivers, and grass lands then you may not like this trail. The Scenery is awesome. 4. Summer time can be very Hot and Humid so if you plan on riding in the summertime ride early and take allot of water! 5. I have added a tip below regarding the detour in Bolivar. 6. If staying in Bolivar overnight I suggest the Best Western Plus ( it is where my route ends ) 7. Food - Willard is your best bet until you get to Bolivar. Try Pizanos Pizza right across from the trail downtown. 8. The Springfield to Willard section is heavily used by joggers, walkers, local High School Cross Country teams, and yes, Cyclists. 9. The Paved section in Bolivar North of Highway 13 is also heavily used by walkers and joggers as well as cyclists. 10. This is a great ride. Enjoy!

The Frisco Highline Trail, designated as a National Recreation Trail, was once a bustling railway. It stretches 35 miles through the scenic Ozarks, connecting Springfield to Bolivar, Missouri. This trail provides a fantastic scenic route for exploring the area's small towns.

Phenix is an old ghost town whose primary purpose was to provide labor for marble and limestone mining. In its heyday, the town had a library, an orchestra, theaters, and a church with a full-time minister. Today, an operating quarry still includes a couple of old lime kilns and a sturdy old building made of local stone. A fun historical fact: Bonnie Parker of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde attended elementary school here.

This brewery has excellent brews and a fantastic backyard. The company owns the parking lot across the street next to the bike repair shop, where many cyclists park their cars before heading out for a ride. If you stop in before your ride, be careful—some beers are strong!

Nathanael Greene Park shares the property with the Springfield Botanical Gardens. Walking paths surround the gardens, ponds, and gazebos, and some connect to the South Creek Greenway, which passes by Lake Drummund.
