River to River Trail Guide Across Southern Illinois

THE RIVER TO RIVER TRAIL GUIDE describes the route of the River to River Trail from historic Battery Rock on the Ohio River to equally historic Devil's Backbone Park at Grand Tower on the Mississippi. The trail is 146 miles mostly through the Shawnee National Forest for hikers, equestrians & some mountain bikes & goes through seven wilderness areas & several National Scenic Attractions. The trail is described in detail through a narrative & then shown on topographic maps alongside. There are plenty of vistas, deep forests, rock monuments & history noted in the trail guide. The trail is part of the southern leg of the American Discovery Trail that extends coast to coast & is considered one of the best trails in the country.
