Itinerary:

We will hike the West Kolb Farm Trail to Powder Spring Road, cross the road and continue on the East Kolb Farm Trail. We will make brief stops at the Grave of the Unknown Soldier and the Illinois Monument and then complete our loop back to the parking lot on the Cease Fire Trail and the Old John Ward Road.

We are getting close to mating season for the local deer population. The deer are usually very active this time of year, especially in the evening. We might also see some wild turkeys along the trail. If you are a deer lover, as I am, you might enjoy this hike

We will be approaching darkness by the completion of the hike, so you might want to bring a flashlight or head lamp, just in case.

The average pace of this hike will be 2.8 - 3.0 mph. This pace should not be too challenging as there is very little elevation on these trails.

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking shoes or boots

Water or energy drinks

America the Beautiful pass or KMNBP pass (If you don't have a park pass, there is a kiosk at the parking lot for purchase of a day pass.)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Hiking poles

Head lamp or flashlight
