After exploring High Knob hiker only trail in the Shawnee National Forest, we move on to the Ghost Town around Hurricane Bluff. In this Ghost Town, there are cabins and even a cemetery that is so old that you can't even read the stones.

1. How long is this hike? We hike about 2 miles. It really depends on how much you want to hike but you could easily turn it into an all day (or even overnight) hike.
2. Is this hike a rugged hike? The trail is considered rugged with rocky areas, creek crossings, difficult hiking paths and changing elevations/rolling hills.
3. Do horseback riders use this trail? Yes! Please yield to all equestrians and speak calmly to ensure their horses realize you are human. The High Knob Horse Campground is near here and equestrian use is very popular. I recommend hiking during the Mule ride if you want to hear some really funny sounding animals, LOL.
4. Any additional tips for this hike? Try to stay on the trail at all times to avoid hazardous conditions. Poison ivy and venomous snakes are present on this trail. Bring plenty of water and snack when visiting this trail. There are no trash services on this trail so please pack out what you pack in.
