An overnight backpacking trip through the Hickory Creek Wilderness Area and into the proposed Hickory Creek Wilderness addition is being planned for the weekend of March 6-7. This outing will give us a fine sense of a long segment of East Hickory Creek - a state-designated Wilderness Trout Stream.
The trip will begin where East Hickory Creek exits the southern edge of the Hickory Creek Wilderness along Forest Road 119 in southern Warren County around noon on Saturday. The hike through the Hickory Creek Wilderness will be all off trail. We will follow along East Hickory Creek north through the wilderness, pass out of the wilderness and into the proposed wilderness addition on the northeast side until they we the Tanbark Trail. Saturday evening we will stop along the way to make camp before dark. In all, we will end up hiking approximately 10 miles over the two-day span.
Hikers should bring all of their own food and equipment and come fully prepared for the weather.
A sleeping bag rated down to at least 0° F is strongly recommended. Please come prepared.
As the weekend gets closer, you may wish to monitor the weather forecast yourself. Check current weather conditions in Tidioute, here.
And most importantly, don't let the cold weather scare you off! If you come prepared properly it will not be a problem.
