Hiking the Boundary Trail at Little Dixie Lake

In mid March we walked the entire Boundary Trail Loop around Little Dixie Lake. The Little Dixie Lake Conservation Area is located in western Callaway County and is maintained by the Missouri Department of Conservation.

We walked a total of 6.36 miles with 243 feet of elevation change. The trail runs through a variety of different terrains and wildlife habitats. There are several different trail heads, though most people seem to park in the dam area. The dam and two other trail heads provide pit toilets. There are also several areas with picnic tables. The trail is well marked.

There is also a Shoreline Trail that runs right along most of the lake shore. It provides access to the lake for those interested in fishing or can be a pleasant hike.
