Boxley Valley

A best use design plan ready to go

Boxley Valley is the heart of the Ozarks.

Boxley Valley offers some of the most striking terrain in the Ozarks—over 1,000 feet of vertical relief, rock cathedrals, cascading waterfalls, and narrow hollers cut deep into the landscape. Dirt Tek Trails was brought in to explore the property and craft a layout that harnesses this raw beauty into a world-class trail system.

The plan includes more than 20 miles of mapped trail corridors, ranging from gravity-fed descents and stacked enduro spurs to technical climbs, mellow ridgeline loops, and immersive backcountry circuits. Highlights include a 1,100-foot vertical drop, creekside rock gardens on the Gully Trail, and a cross-country loop with ride-in/ride-out lodging potential.

Our fieldwork focused on sustainable routing, rider progression, and unforgettable moments in the terrain. The Boxley design reflects our signature approach: using creativity and precision to unlock the full potential of the landscape—while laying the groundwork for a trail system built to last.
