Trace Creek Section

Sometimes simple things are the best!  While this section may not feature stunning vistas, waterfalls, fens or glades, it's still a pleasant walk in the woods, and simply delightful after a spring rain.

Overview

This section is located in Washington and Iron counties and lies southwest of Potosi.  The northern 18 miles of trail was constructed in 1968, with the last six miles added in 1983.  To the north it connects with the Courtois section, to the south the Taum Sauk section, and in-between a new section of the Karkaghne is being built.  It's open to foot, bike and equestrian traffic.  A spur trail can be found near the section's midpoint that leads to the 12-mile Council Bluff loop trail.
