The swinging bridge (video) is at GPS mile 2.5 and mile 1.7 according to the mile markers (GL-03). You will pass a cedar groves and get some nice views of the lake. It passes mile marker 1 about 1.8 miles from the zero mile marker at the main trailhead and then a small bluff with an overhang the might be a good shelter for a surprise thunderstorm. This next section follows an arm of the lake heading for the swinging bridge. The trail follows the road uphill for about 100 feet (above the pull out) and then turns left into the woods. There is a low cable at the turnout that looks like the entrance to the trail. The trail from Highway 10 comes in just below (west) of the first and largest pull out. There are some pull-outs at the bottom of the hill for parking. I have seen regular cars navigate it, but cars with very low clearance might not make it. Though most of it is tarmac, it is no longer maintained and is highly potholed. The Alternate Trailhead is accessed by a road off of Highway 10. On the other side the trail leaves the highway and heads east on a broad trail to the Alternate Trailhead. Turn left and walk across the Highway 10 bridge. After crossing under a power line the trail will pass through the woods and come out on Highway 10. It will cross the road again in less than 0.1 miles. After following the lake shore for 0.2 mile, the trail crosses the forest road and goes back into the wood. Watch for the blue blazes leaving down hill to the left. In another few hundred feet you will be even with the earthen dam and the trail will start to follow a forest road. At mile 0.3 you will pass under a little hut like structure and see a cabin on the lake at the end of the park road. In just a few hundred feet you will pass the back side of the 17 mile marker. You are still in the main part of the park so you will see the park road to you left. The trail leaves the trailhead and heads south through the hardwood forest. To avoid confusion, I differentiate between mile markers and GPS miles in the narrative. For example, mile zero is at the trailhead and mile 1 is 1.8 miles away. The mile markers are not always accurate. The trail is marked with a blue blaze and each miles is marked with a white sign that on close inspection also has the UTM coordinates etched on them. Keep going straight at the guard station, wind down the hill and there is a big sign on the right announcing the trailhead (GL-01, mile 0.0). To the right (north) is the park office where you can check in. At the top of the hill there is a guard station which is unmanned in the off season. The Hike: The official trailhead is located in the park, just off the road to the docks. Save it to your computer and open it with Google Earth.

The Map: The map is true 1:24,000 scale based on the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles. And those turkeys were big chest high if they stood up straight! On my main hike I saw 12 armadillos and 4 wild turkeys. It was also teaming with wildlife each time I was there in winter 2011. Mostly traversing the hills rising out of the east side of Greenleaf Lake, this 17 mile loop trail provides a taste of the rugged terrain of the Ozark flank and some excursion into small patches of xeric sandstone prairie. The Greenleaf Trail is a very pleasant surprise. Free downloadable topo map of the Greenleaf Loop Trail
