The Ponds Loop is a sort little trail (about a .4 mile loop) that is right off the road driving into the Southern part of Erbie (for the purposes of this blog I will differentiate south Erbie from north Erbie because the river crossing here is not always able to be crossed and definitely not always able to be crossed for those without a four-wheel drive).
The Loop starts just across the road from a little picnic area. The little route to the South Pond (pictured first with my lovely wife Michelle posing in front) is flat and wide and is actually handicap accessible. A short trek through the woods gets you to the North pond (secong picture). And then, it's another short little walk back to the parking area.
This little loop can also be added to the Buffalo River Trail -- Erbie to Ozark stretch.
This is an easy and scenic trail and great for people with young kids or for the elderly.
Distance: .4 miles
Difficulty Level: Easy

Guidebook: Tim Ernst - Buffalo River Hiking Trails
