Roark Creek Trail Description

The Roark Creek Trail provides a pleasant, tree-lined east-west corridor across Branson. As it follows its namesake creek, the paved pathway provides access to North Beach Park on its east end and Stockstill Park midway. The former offers fishing docks and picnic tables along the banks of scenic Lake Taneycomo. Stockstill Park provides two playgrounds, ball fields, and tennis courts for family-oriented outdoor fun.

Future plans call for extended the trail farther west to Henning Conservation Area.

Parking and Trail Access

Parking is available mid-trail in Stockstill Park (625 Stockstill Lane) and on the trail's east end at North Beach Park (401 Eastlake Street).

Roark Creek Trail Reviews

Roark Trail

Terrible! Alongside road, steep and narrow along guardrail, ugly and then closed about mile and half into it. Advise to not go!

Short ride

Short little paved trail in amongst bigs hills in Branson. The trail itself is not in traffic, but getting to the trail…whew…big hills and lots of traffic.

Roark Creek trail

For a bike trail in the middle of a city built on a thousand hills, this was a pretty nice, short trail!

Not impressed

Ride to the east ends up riding on the street and an unexpected 15 degree hill followed by steep uphill over a bridge in traffic. West ride ends up with half mile unpaved trail. Not well signed on transitions. Good thing I had map on the app.

Accordion

Mark the trail

Branson gets a C- on this trail. East end marking is either well hidden or non-existent. Went to Stockstill Park as secondary entry point. Nice but too short.
