This is a fun little trail that goes on some great terrain around the peninsula containing Stockton State Park. Lots of Dogwood, not a lot of rock and some great views of the lake. Very flowy, sustainable - should be rideable shortly after rain.
The only drawback is there are two crossings of MO 215, which isn't super busy but you do need to watch out.
Need to Know
Camping is available just up the road from the primary trailhead.
Description
This is a pretty simple trail - going north (counter-clockwise around the penninsula) from the trailhead, you work through some flowy trail, then get up to a clearing where you have to look for the blue blaze on a post across the field to get going again. It's easy to follow the trail.
Nothing is technical but it's a grind as you're going up or down the whole way - budget 40 minutes at a good pace, 1 hour if you're wanting to take some pictures of the scenery. Just past the small cemetary is steep grade downhill that is a blast! The on-site Missouri parks staff is courteous and helpful and work hard to keep the trails clear of fallen trees.
A fun, fast, wide, flowy, rolling ride thru the woods with many views of the lake. Only a few minor technical sections. Great for a family ride.

Easy trail with quite a few spots to stop and enjoy the view of Stockton Lake. Also did Sortor's Bluff trail (just opened and more fun).

Hot day, but lots of wild life out. The ticks and chiggers are really bad so apply some bug spray before heading out. I did and still got bit up.
