O'Bannon Woods Trail Day - Sunday, January 10th, 10:00am

Thanks to Paul Arlinghaus and Chris Ward, there will be another trail building day at O'Bannon Woods State Park in Corydon, IN this Sunday!
 
This property has things you would never expect to find in Indiana: 20-foot water falls, caves with water flowing out, boulder fields, cliffs, pine forests, cedar forests, and more! There is potential for 40 to 50 miles of trail and Indiana's State Parks leadership is anxious to get 15 more miles of trail on the ground by the end of 2010. Please come down for a trail day on Sunday, January 10th. There will be hikes at 10:00AM and 12:30 AM to show off the areas the first trails will be built, with options for trail building and exploration rides. Meet at the Class A Campground at 10:00am.



We will be working in the same area we worked the last trail day. We have bench cutting, rock projects and finish grade to focus on for this trail day. KYMBA will provide tools! Thanks for everyone's support of this project.

Remember to dress weather appropriately, and you may want to bring chemical heat packs.  If the ground is too frozen to bench cut, we will focus on gathering rocks for armoring projects. The North Fire Tower Trail has at least 10 wet spots that will need armoring and we found two underground springs on the connector trail last work session. Gathering rocks is the hard part and it is nice moving rocks while the ground is frozen.

Having frozen ground will make it easier to hike down and see the areas the Adventure Trail will go.
