Wolf Creek Road

Trail Overview

Wolf Creek Road is a gravel road running through a section of the Shawnee National Forest. It clocks in at 3.8 miles, leading slowly downhill from the hills of the Mississippi Bluffs into the low-laying land of central southern IL. It has 2 concrete-bottomed low-water bridges that may turn into shallow crossings with heavy rain. The road has a very scenic feel, following Wolf Creek as it cuts into the hillsides and landscape paralleling the road. This also leads you to the Honey School/Tower Road.

Difficulty

Just a simple scenic gravel road through the forest, the worst section of the road on the east end features mild ruts, mounding and washboarding
