North Terminus Sheltowee Trace Recreation Trail

Travel the Sheltowee Trace, a 269-mile multiple-use national recreation trail that the length of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The trail is named in honor of Daniel Boone. Sheltowee (meaning big turtle) was the name given to Boone when he was adopted into the Shawnee tribe as the son of the great war chief Blackfish.

The Sheltowee Trace meanders along high, narrow ridges and cliffs, and into deep gorges along small, clear streams and whitewater rivers. These diverse landforms give rise to a great variety of trees, wildflowers, birds, and animals, including threatened and endangered species. Whether you like to hike, camp, backpack, canoe, ride, climb, explore, or just have fun, there's a place on the Trace for you.
