Looking for some good trail loop recommendations in MO or even AR close to MO. Wanting just a few days to get out and explore MO a lil bit.

I recommend the Butterfield Hiking Trail in Devil's Den, AR. It's just south of Fayetteville. Beautiful trail.

Hawn State Park has a great loop. It's a beautiful area and the trail is that is only moderate difficulty. I would consider this just an overnight, because mileage is around 10 miles. Be prepared for a few water crossings, depending on rainfall. Our last visit was in the middle of spring rain season and the creeks were in rare conditions.

I just remembered I had a trip report from the wet visit.

Yes, this. One of my first backpacking trips and it was very peaceful with a couple fun uphills that were just challenging enough and a nice view on top. Really great campsites also and keep an eye out for a few that are not on the map. Happy trailsOriginally Posted by curtiseddie

Berryman Trail is about a 25 mile loop located near Potosi MO. There are two formal campsites on the trail, and at least one back-country site.
Whites Creek trail in southern MO is about 18 mile loop. https://www.hikingproject.com/trail/...es-creek-trail.
And Big Piney is another one near Rolla in the Paddy Creek Wilderness area. https://www.hikingproject.com/trail/...ig-piney-trail

Butterfield Hiking Trail is a great weekend trip. I’ve done it as a single overnighter, but would be quite strenuous for weekend warriors who don’t hike very often. It’s around 18-20 miles IIRC. Running clockwise, the last couple miles are tough.
