Show on map 573-438-5427

The Brazil Creek Trailhead serves as a trail camp for the 24-mile Berryman Trail and the 40 mile Courtois (koh-teh-wah) Section of the Ozark Trail.

The Berryman Trail traverses 24 miles of scenic Ozark countryside starting at the site of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp of 1937 and winding through timbered stands and fields. This section of the Ozark Trail is part of the over 200 mile through-trail. Camping, hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding here offer the recreationist a pleasant measure of solitude and quiet.

The trailhead is located past the campsites, on the right-hand side, down a short gravel path. You will need to cross a creek to get onto the trail.

The campsites are located on the right-hand side of the road.
