County Road V-216 offers an easy out-and-back drive on a gravel (golf ball size and smaller) road from State Highway V to the summit of Coot Mountain. The elevation gain is just over 400 feet to the top of the mountain. The trail starts with private property on either side before transitioning to the Rocky Creek Conservation Area and a corner of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. There is a bridge over the creek and trees along the duration of the trail. Beware of downed tree branches. Close to the end of the road, there is a closed and locked gate preventing traveling up the trail's last little bit. There is a small parking area to stage vehicles close to the gate. Once parked, a short hike up the road reveals a fire tower and buildings.
The fire tower can be climbed almost all the way to the top. The observation platform is locked to prevent access. Views around the area provide an excellent vantage point for observing the Current River and surrounding countryside. If you are looking for a prominent place for views, look no further!
No obvious campsites were observed along the trail.
