Adams Homestead and Nature Preserve covers 1500 acres along the Missouri River and offers a network of trails that explore an area of diverse natural terrain. The Lake Loop follows a gravel trail on the west side of Mud Lake that travels through both prairie and forest terrain. The trail has lots of small ups and downs but no major hills making it a good choice for hikers of all skill levels. The trail continues to the south down towards the river for a much longer hike if desired.
