Description

Start at the main parking area. The trail heads for a bluff, then a junction with the loop portion. Stay left, passing the Ehmiller home site, bottomland forest, then a crossing of Sand Creek. The trail winds through upland forest, crosses a small creek, and then passes low wetlands until it meets Middle Road. Turn right, then right again, passing a large glacial boulder, then along bluff forest to Jabs Farm. Joining Flood's Road, turn right, go across the levee (with a nice view of the west end of Louisville Swamp), then up a short hill to a junction. Turn right again, coursing along the bluff-top savannah back to the loop junction.
