The River-to-River Trail Society will hold its first guided hike of the Fall 2021 hiking season at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 9, at Jackson Falls in Pope County. This hike is free and open to the public. Turn south off Ozark Road onto Jackson Falls Road (also known as Glen St. Falls Road) about four miles east of Ozark Illinois, and continue south for about two miles to the parking area. This hike is intended for people in good health who have done some hiking. The descent to the floor of Jackson Hollow can be rugged and tricky, so hiking sticks and boots or sturdy shoes are strongly recommended. All participants will be expected to sign a waiver of liability. Hikers should bring their own water and a snack. No dogs, please. For further information or directions, you may call (618) 694-7034.
