    I came here during my Cross-Country solo adventure/road trip. I was on my way to experience 'The…read moreGreat River Road' in MO ' and this was one of the stops. This State Park is perfect for the entire family. When I went there was especially gorgeous with lots of wild flowers and yellow and orange leaves. The tragic history that gives Trail of Tears State Park its name provides a sharp contrast to the serence and peaceful setting and the abundance of recreational opportunities. The park is located on the site where nine of 13 groups of Cherokee Indians crossed the Mississippi River in harsh winter conditions in 1838-39 and thousands lost their lives on the trail. This clean park has shaded picnic sites, hiking and horse trails, campsites and opportunities to fish in both the Mississippi River and Lake Boutin.

    If you are a trail runner stay away from the red trail. I started at the trailhead from Lake…read moreBoutin. The first half mile of trail is fine. After that it becomes overgrown. At 1.4 miles of this nine mile trail I had to turn back because the trail was impassable with fallen trees and overgrowth. It didn't look like a recent tree downing, it appeared to have been here awhile. I don't think these trails are used very often. Maybe I got off trail. Hard to tell since it was not well marked either. Maybe people only go half a mile and turn back. I had to jump in the lake afterwards to rinse off any potential poison oak/ivy oils. Either way I would not recommend the red loop for running. If you enjoy bushwhacking, running with a machete, and doing volunteer trail maintenance then this trail is perfect for you. That's the only situation where I would suggest this trail for running. Best of luck out there.
