Road Biking*

  • Possum Trot Road - Turn right out of farm and ride 10 miles to Highway 68, turn around for a 20-mile hilly out and back.

  • Big Neck Road Loop off Possum Trot Road - Turn right out of farm and it’s just down the road a bit. Pretty views and ends about a mile further down Possum Trot.

  • Burdette Road in Grandview - Gorgeous farm scenery including the pretty Red Barn Farm as everyone calls it. Eventually this road ends back out on Highway 68. Best to turn around and go back the way you came - avoid Highway 68 biking.
