This is a 9 mile trail traversing 919 acres, that is
open to horseback riding from May 15th through September
30th.
Located 3 miles South of Russellville. The area can be
reached by taking Highway AA and turning east on Scrivner Road
and proceeding 1 mile to the entrance on Scott Road.
Scrivner Road Conservation Area is in Cole
County about 3 miles south of Russellville. Parts of this
919-acre site were donated by Mrs. Alvon Winegar in 1984. The
9-acre Winegar Lake is a central feature of the area, which also
includes more than 2 miles of South Moreau Creek frontage. This
former cattle farm was extensively grazed and logged in the past
and is now managed for wildlife and public recreation. The
8.5-mile Moreau Creek trail system provides access to most of
the area. Management includes periodic prescribed burning to
provide high quality wildlife habitat. Field crops left in the
creek bottoms and food plots seeded in upland areas provide
additional winter food and cover for wildlife. The target
shooting range offers a shotgun range, and 25-, 50-, and
100-yard rifle and pistol ranges. Special length and creel
limits apply to the area's fishing waters
