Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail

Please remember that these trails are multiple-use. Please practice Trail Safety, Leave No Trace and Tread Lightly to make your visit safe and enjoyable while protecting resources we all enjoy.

Recreation Opportunity Guides (ROGS) are letter-sized information sheets about trails and recreation areas. Trail ROGS give information on trailhead location, trail length, USGS quad name, county name, hiking difficulty, trail surface, connections and restrictions. The back page of the ROG has a map of the area or trail. ROGs are available in PDF formats. If you don't have a PDF reader, Download FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader.
