McBride

McBride is an out-and-back trail giving access to the Gasconade River. It starts at the top of the ridge as a typical gravel road and once at the bottom transitions to a two-track to the river. There is a creek bed that runs through the trail at multiple points. Generally, the gravel size is golfball and smaller. Once it turns to the northeast, there is a cliff with small cave entrances to explore. At the end of the track, a couple of small camping areas with great views are available, along with a boat ramp.

Depending on weather conditions and river water level, the end of the trail might be impassable. There is clear evidence of past high flood waters.
