Description

This rolling section of the Sheltowee Trace Trail is fairly gentle, especially when compared with other segments of the longer trail. Visitors will enjoy the dense tree cover as it makes for a cool and shady trip. For nearly two miles, this trail maintains the ridgeline without dropping significantly.
