These printed maps by OutraGIS are great tactile tool for navigating the Sheltowee Trace. There have been two reroutes since their publication. We've added 14 miles to the Trace through reroutes in the Cave Run Lake area and in Big South Fork on the Kentucky Trail. Contact Steve for more direction by emailing director@sheltoweetrace.org.
