1050 Mountain Maid Road is a short, scenic forest route located south of Roaring River State Park in the Mark Twain National Forest. The trail offers a peaceful mix of mud, dirt, and light rock surfaces, making it a fun and approachable drive for most vehicles.
The route is primarily flat with occasional soft spots and scattered rocks. Overgrowth is significant in places, especially during summer, so expect light pinstripes on wider rigs. Despite the tight brush, the road is well worth exploring for its quiet atmosphere and easy terrain.
Several primitive campsites can be found along the route, including a standout spot beside a small pond, perfect for an overnight stay or lunch stop. The trail culminates on a ridgeline with views of tree-filtered valleys. In winter, when the leaves are down, this high point offers expansive vistas of the surrounding Ozark hills.
