Frisco Highline Trail (Springfield to Willard)

The Frisco Highline Trail (Springfield to Willard) in Springfield, Missouri is an easy 6-mile one-way paved trail that connects Springfield to Willard and features art installations along the path.

The entire Frisco Highline Trail is a 35-mile rail bed trail that connects Springfield and Bolivar Missouri. On this trip I hiked from the Springfield Kearney Street Trailhead to the Willard Trailhead. I found this section of the trail to be easy with it being paved the whole and being fairly flat since it’s on a rail bed.
