Trail Overview

The Cadiz Campground Trail begins within Shawnee National Forest at Cadiz Campground, a primitive-style campground that offers designated campsites with fire pits, restroom facilities, and a water fill spigot. The route starts as a maintained gravel road and provides easy access from within the campground area. As the trail continues, conditions become less maintained with sections of mud and increasing tree limb overhang. These tighter, more overgrown areas may limit access for larger vehicles and require additional caution when navigating through. This trail offers a transition from a more developed campground setting into a quieter, more remote section of the forest, making it a good option for those looking to explore beyond the main campground area.

Difficulty

Easy. The trail begins as a maintained gravel road suitable for most vehicles, but transitions into muddier and more uneven terrain farther along. Tree limbs overhang, and tighter sections may limit access for larger vehicles. High-clearance vehicles are recommended, especially after rainfall, when conditions can become more challenging.
