Wrangler Trailhead (OT) the Forest Service's write-up

season January to December

The Wrangler Trailhead provides access to the Victory Section of the Ozark Trail.

Named after the one-room schoolhouse that formerly stood near one of the trailheads, this isolated section of the Ozark Trail is separated from the Wappapello Lake Section’s southern terminus by the Black River and three miles of rugged terrain. The trail goes through heavy oak forests with small meadows and streams providing variety in the landscape. Water is available in creeks along the trail.

This trailhead offers four primitive campsites with fire rings, lamp posts, and horse tie-ups.

The parking area at the trailhead can fit several cars and trucks with trailers.

Directions from Poplar Bluff: Take 67 north out of town for about 9 miles and take a left turn on Forest Road 3110 (also known as Butler County Rd. 402). Take this road for about 5 miles and the trailhead will be on the lefthand (south) side of the road.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
