Fanes Creek Road is a scenic back road in the Ozark National Forest that delivers a mix of relaxed exploration and classic Ozark character. Winding along forested ridges and dropping into low creek valleys, this route offers a little more texture than your average forest road, with frequent washboards, mild ruts, and a few rocky stretches that keep things interesting.

While passable for most high-clearance vehicles, the uneven surface and occasional standing water make it best suited for SUVs and trucks with off-road tires.

Points of interest include Phipps Branch Falls, which is beautiful in the spring. There is a low-water bridge that crosses clear, turquoise water, offering a nice place to see true Ozark beauty. There are several opportunities to explore additional trails and dispersed camping.
