SPADRA CREEK NATURE TRAIL

Location: Park in the gravel lot at the old iron bridge off South Rogers Street just north of Interstate 40 in Clarksvill­e.

GPS: 35.455610, -93.465220

Length: It’s 1.75 miles to the northern trailhead at the University of the Ozarks — 3.5 miles out and back.

Main attraction­s: There are two portions to the wellkept nature trail. This is the paved, more frequented, western side and passes through a wooded area along the creek before climbing atop the levee as it heads toward downtown. There’s a paved 1.2-mile spur to the west and several dirt mountain bike trails along the way.

Hazards: Be careful crossing busy Main and Cherry streets.

Dog, bike, tyke friendly? Yes for all three.
