Directions:
From Lebanon, take Hwy 64 west about 23 miles to Hwy T, turn north.
Follow Hwy T for 9 miles to Hwy YY, turn east. There is a sign here. Go
0.5 of a mile to the entrance, turn left into the area. Continue straight and
there's a trailhead parking lot 0.8 of a mile from the entrance. Continue
past, following the road as it turns to the right, for 1.7 miles to the camp-
ground on the left. Watch out when driving to this area, because there are
some Amish living in the surrounding farms.

Equestrian Camping:
Yes, there is a nice designated campground with room for about 25 horse
trailers. It's just before the big hill that goes down to the river.
Trail Notes:
Very nice trail to ride. There are multiple loops so you can ride whatever
mileage you and your horse can take. The trail corridor is wide enough
in many places to ride two abreast. It's easy to follow, with a few creeks
to cross and some deadfall to negotiate. Something here for just about
everyone.
Cart/Wagon Driving:
It's allowed here, there is some gravel road here to drive on, but not a whole lot. From some
of the trail I had seen, some of it would be wide enough, but I don't know how much of it.
