Formed by 3 loops, crossing 36 miles of pastoral countryside. Two-thirds of the trail is cross-country; the rest is along gravel roads.
Southern Loop: Crosses 22 miles of scenic country with about one-third of this section on gravel and paved county roads. It is marked in grey diamonds.
Smith Creek Section: Between Hwy J and Cedar Creek, about 5 miles from Boydsville to Rutherford Bridge. This scenic route provides glimpses of Cedar Creek from the bluffs above. It is marked in orange diamonds.
Moon Loop; About 7 miles in length, offers varying landscapes. The name was given because, at one time, the effects of soil erosion that occurred in the 1930s caused people to think of the surface of the moon. It is marked with yellow diamonds.
