Redbird Crest Trail

Redbird Ranger District Daniel Boone National Forest

Length: 52 Miles

The Redbird Crest Trail is a 52-mile loop trail that begins and ends near the Redbird District Office. The trail generally follows the ridge tops, with some portions being quite steep and rough. Segments of the trail are suitable for licensed vehicles only. Some areas are so narrow that only single track vehicles can drive on them. Please contact the District Office for specific information. The trail is marked with green-painted, diamond-shaped blazes spaced no further than 1/10 of a mile. Trail symbols are used at road intersections and as a reminder. 

Orange diamonds are currently being added to mark the trail for ATV use. Intersecting trails will be identified with signs.

The route begins at Redbird District Office and ends at Redbird District Office.
