Before you choose

Route overview

Turkey Hollow follows a short loop from a former field into oak woodland in the Big Sugar Creek Wild Area. A bridge carries the trail across a small valley, after which the route rounds the end of a ridge and returns toward its entrance. Yellow markers identify this short hike, which Missouri State Parks rates moderate.
