Ozark Trail Work Parties
General Trip Information
Think of this as more "party" than "work." A typical Work Party weekend includes free camping on Friday and Saturday night, excellent food, and fun in the great outdoors. Help us build and maintain the Ozark Trail by joining one of our work parties. No experience is required, no tools are required, and you don't have to be particularly strong. The work is completed from around 9 AM to 3 PM on Saturday to leave plenty of time for various leisure activities the remainder of the weekend. People of all ages are welcome, so bring your kids, grandparents – even your dog. The Ozark Trail is a scenic and varied route through the Ozarks, with 350 miles in Southeast Missouri.

Ozark Trail Association
The Ozark Trail is a part of 25 year-old vision to build a scenic and varied route through the Missouri Ozarks, stretching from the St. Louis metropolitan area southwestward to the Arkansas border, eventually connecting to the Ozark Highlands trail-- creating a 700 mile through-trail. Almost 550 miles of trail have been completed, with 350 miles in Missouri.
The Ozark Trail Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to finishing that vision: The Mission of the Ozark Trail Association is to develop, maintain, preserve, promote and protect the rugged, natural beauty of the Ozark Trail.
