Overview
The Lake Vista Trail is one of the best-maintained, easy-to-follow trails in the Jackson County park system. The trail encircles the wooded, rolling terrain surrounding Blue Springs Lake and passes limestone cliffs and outcroppings. Another highlight is a massive, arched footbridge that passes over a creek. There are six trail heads, making it easy to plan the distance you desire. To complete the full loop, you must walk a sidewalk and bridge over Blue Springs Lake on Woods Chapel Road.Length 5 miles
