Highlights

This is a historic trail into Richloam Wildlife Management Area. The trail is mostly limestone road with some asphalt in the beginning, leading to the Richloam Post Office and General Store from 1928. Richloam General Store is located in the middle of nowhere and a great place to stop by! On the way you will get deeper into the 58,000 acre forest with plenty of opportunities to explore Richloam WMA.
