Bidwell Creek Road offers an easy drive through the Mark Twain National Forest. There are several campsites and a handful of side trails for additional exploration. Crisscrossing through the area is the John J. Audubon Trail. Generally, the trail follows the top of a ridgeline with potential views through the trees to the valley below. Each end of the trail is private property that is clearly marked. While the trail's northern end shows it can connect to Boyd Road, emplaced barriers prevent it.
