This hike is free and open to the public. This will be a hike of about three miles, of moderate difficulty, and is intended for people in good health who have done some walking. Hiking sticks and boots or sturdy shoes are strongly recommended. Because this hike will be during bow hunting season, hikers should consider wearing an item of blaze orange clothing. Hikers should bring their own water and a snack. No dogs, please.

    Hikers should meet at 10:30 a.m. at the parking lot at the eastern end of Boat Dock Road, which runs east off Route 127, ten miles south of Murphysboro and twelve miles north of Jonesboro, Illinois. For information or directions, call (618) 549-0372.
