Bald Knob Wilderness

Adjacent to the beautiful Bald Knob Cross landmark this rugged and remote wilderness offers the Bald Knob trail loop and the linear Godwin Trail which connects into Clear Springs wilderness. Along Bald Knob trail during leaf-off season, there is an excellent view of Clear Creek Valley.  Trail users will be exposed to the Ozark-like terrain of steep rocky slopes in excess of 80%.
