10019 W. State Hwy. 8 Potosi, MO 63664
Hikers doing the full 24-mile Berryman Loop, mountain bikers, and equestrians will find direct trail access and a vault toilet at no cost. Fall weekends in September and October hit the right temperature window, and the single site with a picnic table and fire ring is worth arriv
Tick aversion is a real dealbreaker here, multiple reviewers pulled 15+ off their dogs in a single visit. Sites near the trailhead also catch road noise and barking dogs, and there's no potable water on-site, so a 16-mile supply run to Potosi is your only option if you run short.

Fall brings the most reliable conditions. September through October sees highs in the 50s to 70s°F with low humidity, making long trail days comfortable. The oak and hickory forest shows solid color, and crowds stay moderate outside holiday weekends. Hunting seasons overlap with fall, so wear visible clothing. Summer reaches the 80s with higher humidity. Winter drops into the 20s and 30s. The forest opens up, but prepare for cold nights.
Fall offers reliable weather, good colors and comfortable trail days per overview.
Brazil Creek Trailhead has three campsites at the trailhead, each with a picnic table and fire rings. There is room for two horse trailers in the parking area.
