Join park ranger Jerry Hightower for an early autumn hike through a floodplain forest along the river and an oak-hickory forest along the ridges overlooking Island Ford Shoals. Hike along the river and see where the prehistoric Sixes Trail crossed the river at Island Ford. Take a step into a naturally occurring rock overhang used as shelter by the first human residents of the river corridor. Enjoy the afternoon as we look for the first signs of autumn, wildlife signs, and the last of the wildflowers; perhaps a purple flowered gentian.
Dress for the weather; wear comfortable outdoor clothes and sturdy shoes or hiking boots. Bring a day pack with your camera, binoculars, hand lens, notebook and pencil, and a trail snack. Don't forget your drinking water, insect repellent, and sunscreen!
Note: The $3 Daily Park Pass is not required for vehicles displaying a current Annual Park Pass or an America the Beautiful Pass!
