You Have to Try the Frisco Highline Trail and How to Do It - The Line Creek Loudmouth
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
Have you ever heard of the Frisco Highline Trail which connects Bolivar to Springfield? How did I know about it? Years ago a crew of folks from the KC area went down to Springfield and got a tour of some of the very innovative things Green County/Springfield were doing. The community had formed a non-profit called Ozarks Greenways and it had a director who was willing to work within constraints as necessary to build a trail system where most others would say it couldn't be done. They had a downtown creek that had been paved/channelized/ignored and they exposed it and put a trail system along it and turned it into a linear park connecting Central High School, Ozarks Technical College, and Evangel University. . . .
The trail starts in Bolivar but you can spot it on the west side of Route 13 by the old grain elevator just a mile or so north of of "Smiths" restaurant: it of course being famous for its tenderloins (according to the billboards). Here is the map of the whole system.
