Mooner's Hollow Trail is a true loop trail located at Saint Francois State Park in Missouri.

We hiked it yesterday and really enjoyed it.

We went clockwise but noticed most people hike it counterclockwise. I feel like you'd get the same elevation either way.

Strava said elevation was right at about 300 feet. There were a few challenging hills, a creek crossing by a cool waterfall, and some rocky conditions.

There were lots of group hikers and people hiking with their pets.

Plenty to see including bluffs, scenic creeks, scenic overlooks, and a diverse forest.
