Southwest Missouri
Bolivar is the north end of the Frisco Highline Trail
Bolivar's Frisco Highline Trailhead gives Polk County a local trail doorway into the rail-trail that runs between Springfield and Bolivar.
Polk County’s trail identity is not only lake country and courthouse-square Bolivar. Ozark Greenways places the Bolivar trailhead at 800 W. Jackson Street and describes pavilion and restroom access at the north end of the trail.
Ozark Greenways describes the Frisco Highline Trail as a route connecting Springfield and Bolivar. Its trail information places the Bolivar trailhead at mile 35 and describes a mix of paved and compacted-crushed-gravel sections between the two ends.
For a visitor or a new resident, the local detail is simple: Bolivar is not just near the trail. It is one of the trail’s anchors. That makes the city trailhead the place to check for parking, restrooms, and the practical start or finish of a Polk County ride or walk.
