Shaddox Hollow Natural Area GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

This is a short hike leading fown to a swampy section of Beaver Lake called Shaddox Hollow. I did the loop counter-clockwise, taking the higher section (north) first. The trail is well-maintained and even has wooden steps/bridges in some sections. Access to the lake is possible via a short spur trail arounf the halfway point of the hike. There are nice sandstone overhangs along the trail as well, which are mostly found on the southern section of the loop along the ascent back to the trailhead.

Hire me or show me some love!

Hire/refer me as a web developer or send me a few bucks if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing trip reports is unpaid. I really appreciate it!
