Fellows Lake Nature Trail

The Fellows Lake Nature Trail was developed by Ozark Greenways in partnership with City Utilities and an Eagle Scout Project in 2006. This natural surface trail is solely for hiking and trail running. This trail intersects with the Liberty Loop Trail.

TRAIL DESCRIPTION: The Fellows Lake Nature Trail is shown on the map with the black and green hashed line. During high water, a portion of this trail is under water, use the pass-thru in the fence to access the road to walk around it. Please be mindful of motor vehicles and bicyclists on the farm road. This 800-acre City Utilities property is also home to the Dirt 66 Fellows Lake Trails which currently provide 25+ miles of interconnecting natural surface trails open to hikers, runners, and Mtn. bikers.
