Belgian Loop Trail #624

Area Status: Open

Belgian Loop Trail, located on Stearns District of the Daniel Boone National Forest, follows the ridge for about one mile before descending to Barren Fork. To make a loop, cross the creek and follow the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail to your left. After approximately 3/4-mile, the trail will reconnect with the Belgian Loop. The trail will make a steep climb to the ridgetop and then level out. It will follow the ridge until it meets an old logging road. Turn left onto the old logging road, which will bring you back to Forest Service Road 682. Follow this to return to the cemetery.
