The River-to-River Trail Society announces its first public hike of the Spring, 2021 hiking season, on Saturday, March 13, between Phantoms Canyon and Cedar Falls, in Pope County. This hike is free and open to the public. Because the size of the group is limited to twenty, those wishing to take part must register in advance, by calling (630) 470-7692. This will be a hike of moderate difficulty, lasting about four hours, requiring some hiking over broken ground and at least one creek crossing. Hikers should bring their own water and a snack. Hiking sticks and boots or sturdy shoes are strongly recommended. No dogs, please.   

    Because of the public health emergency, all hikers must come provided with a mask. While hikers need not wear masks while hiking, masks are required when bunching up or when passing on the trail. This hike will be on private property, and the Society is grateful to Camp Ondessonk and the Catholic Diocese of Belleville for permission.
