In Licking, MO, take State Rt. 32 west 3.9 miles to State Rt. N. Turn right onto Rt. N and go 2.3 miles to State Rt. AF. Turn left onto Rt. AF and go 9.1 miles to Paddy Creek Recreation Area sign (Paddy Creek Rd.). Turn left onto Paddy Creek Rd. and go 1.9 miles to campground sign (Campground Rd.). Turn left and proceed to campground.
Trail is pretty good,I only went about an hour in. Starting from Roby lake. Leaving from Roby lake I came to a fork in the trail. The left said lower trail,I went to the right. Stopped and took the photos of the ice in the creek then walked back out.
I love this creek clean cold and plenty of room to have your own spot. Primitive camping with swimming hiking and neat gravel roads to explore.four stars because people everywhere last two times.
Great hiking trail you can either do in a day or backpack over a weekend. Some elevation gain, a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees, and some good lookout points.
