trips - TECUMSEH TRAILTrip Info
DescriptionWe will be hiking the Tecumseh Trail from the Low Gap Trail Head on Low Gap Road to the Shelter which is about 1.5-2 miles south of Richards Road also known as Lower Bear Creek Road. This will be an Out and Back so we don't have to shuttle.I think the mileage will be 6-7 miles to the shelter I will try and e-mail G-force I know he knows the area well.If you want more miles you could park at The start of Low Gap Trail Head and that would give you about 11 miles give or take or start at the Morgan-Monroe Office and get about 14 miles.So however long you want the hike to be is up to you. Also if you need shorter mileage there are 2 other Trail Heads before the shelter.I am hoping that the MUSHROOMS will be starting to come up by then it maybe still I little early. Water should not be a problem there is a small creek right before you get to the shelter.I will be taking and using my tent the shelter is nice but it faces the west so if you are planning on using the shelter you might want to bring a tarp. Directions to the trailhead if coming in from 37 turn east on Mahsiville Road THERE IS A SHELL GAS STATION ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER.And follow it around to the first road you can turn right on that is LOW GAP ROAD take this road right around to the TRAIL HEAD on left side of road.Should say something like Low Gap Backcountry Area or something like that if you need more help e-mail me kevinlikestohike@yahoo.com Start at 10:00 local time on Saturday Morning if you need Friday Night Camping you can Camp anywhere from this Trailhead on to the East. I am planning on coming on SATURDAY MORING at this point but might Camp on Friday Night as it gets closer I will have to wait and see what all is going on.
