\n<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/a>Pine Lake Trail<\/a>\u00a0 in the Poplar Bluff Ranger District. \u00a0The trail “starts within the Pinewoods Lake Recreation Area, and circles Pinewoods Lake. Three-quarters of a mile of this easy 1.3-mile trail has a concrete surface and is barrier-free; the rest of the trail has native surfacing. The entire trail is relatively flat, with no difficult sections. Circling the lake, the trail provides views of the lake, songbirds, and wildlife, and an abundance of wildflowers….”
\n<\/a>White Oak Trail<\/a>\u00a0is a 1 1\/2 mile loop from the Float Camp picnic area’s parking lot. \u00a0Very helpful staff member called me back and said that it is probably too steep for a wheelchair user alone, although someone could possibly push a chair around it. \u00a0There are some water bars that might be difficult to negotiate.<\/p>\n
