Trail Overview
The Tenmile Creek Trail offers a mix of rocky and clayey terrain with limestone banks. Watch for boulder fields, loose climbs, and water crossings. The trail runs through gently rolling prairies and wooded creek banks, with historical markers highlighting early settlements and abundant game like deer and turkey. Expect to see various wildlife and lush plant life. Cell service is spotty; Enjoy a refreshing drive alone the creek's natural limestone bank. After your adventure, treat yourself at the local ice cream shop in Ferris town.
