IDNR Property - Gravel

Gravel Route
From Canada Rd to Mine Rd, De Soto, Jackson County, Illinois
Outside of the dead ends on the east of this is private property. Usually marked with a gate or cable across the road. Respect the private property. There is plenty of nice gravel to play on here on the IDNR property. Nice sized water crossing up at the NW end of the loop. Concrete bottom, but fairly deep water. Have fun.

This is an interesting place to ride. No motor vehicles are allowed beyond the gates, which includes much of the posted route. There are numerous different gravel terrains out here. The northern most part of the loop is fairly grown up (waist high grass in the summer) for 3-4 miles but still passable.
