Upalika Trailhead

The Upalika trailhead serves as one of several access points to the Victory Section of the Ozark Trail. Named after the one-room schoolhouse that formerly stood near the Victory Trailhead, this isolated section of the Ozark Trail is separated from the Wappapello Lake Section's southern terminus by the Black River and three miles of rugged terrain. The trail follows through heavy oak forests with small meadows and streams providing variety in the landscape. Water is available in creeks along the trail.
