MoBikeFed comment: Dirt 66, Springfield's regional mountain bike plan, is an amazing vision that is making great progress.The Fellows Lake Trails are one portion of the Dirt 66 Master Plan, a part of our region's trail system, that will span from Fellows Lake on the east to Sac River Mtn. Bike Trails on the west. Future plans include integration with the Fulbright Spring Greenway trail and several Springfield-Greene County Parks. This project is being funded by nonprofit TrailSpring in parternship with Ozark Greenways and City Utilities. These soft surface (aka natural surface/unpaved) trails are open to hiking, running, and optimized for mtn. biking. The trails are open from sunrise to sunset.
This 800-acre City Utilities' property currently offers over 20 miles of interconnecting natural surface trail through the woods with views of the lake that are open to hikers, runners, and mtn. bikers. The first trail segment, Uncle Frank's, opened in 2020.
One of the pieces planned for Fellows Lake is a 1000 foot suspension bridge across the lake that will be integrated into the trail system.
Kudos to the leaders and volunteers who have created this vision and started making it happen, including TrailSpring and Ozark Greenways.
