Escape into the quiet wonder of this hidden gem of a trail! Hike alongside the Bark Camp Creek, past rock shelters and beautiful cliffs. Roughly about one mile from the trailhead, hikers can admire a small waterfall. Near the trail’s junction with the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail is a beautiful series of cascades that is Bark Camp Cascades. Always remember: pack it in, pack it out, and leave no trace!
Please note: Moderate hiking is required to see the cascades. Access and follow Bark Camp Trail #413 to view Bark Camp Cascades!
