NEW TELLECK BRANCH CONNECTOR AT COUNCIL BLUFF

Ever been riding at Council Bluff and seen the trail that heads off from the first bridge? You know, the one you rode a couple of hundred yards, came to the swamp caused by the beaver dam, and then had to turn around, or do a balancing act to walk across the dam, all the while trying to avoid the briars? Well, that’s a thing of the past! The OTA spent this past weekend cutting a new reroute into the hillside above the old trail. It’s now wide open to use Council Bluff campground as your base and head out for one-way rides of 8, 16, 25 miles or more, depending on which section of the Ozark Trail you want to ride. The second page of this map gives an overview of what’s out there.
