Description
We divided the trail into three days, and walked in the opposite direction of the Map markings. We hiked just over 5 miles the first Day, 12+ the second day and finished out the remaining 6+ the third Day. The 12 mile day was a mistake. the North loop of this hike is extremely rough and would have been ample for one Day. Our next trip on this trail will be planned at four days 6 miles each. It doesn't seem like much, but this is a challenging trail. The north loop had sections torn up by Motorcross Riders, but the scenery was still worth the work. The entire 24 Miles was laced with wet muddy areas due to the multiple springs and creeks be sure to wear waterproof boots.

Directions to Hike
The Trailhead is on State route 278 just North of the Town of Zaleski, From the West side of Columbus take U.S. 23 South to State route 56 East. Take 56 East to 278 South the trailhead is only a few miles South of the 278 56 intersection.
