The Dr William Rosten Nature trail system follows Bull Shoals Lake from Shadowrock Park to Empire Park at Powersite Dam.  The trail is paved and ADA accessible. 

Take on the challenge of our mountain biking trails and enjoy the beautiful Ozarks while getting some exercise and fresh air. The trail will take you down winding paths through a creek and over several bridges. The Gateway trails system is behind the Boys and Girls Club off Coy Blvd east of US Highway 160 and winds through the City’s Nature Preserve.
