Ft. Ancient to Morrow
Approximately 6 miles- This is one of our more popular trips. Our Riverside Campground serves as a perfect picnic stop at your half way point, have an ice cream treat or lunch. Clean restrooms are available here, and be sure to check out our new cabins for a future extended stay with us. Many islands, creeks, and fossil shoals add to the fun... The Morgan’s recommend this trip for all church groups, youth groups, and corporate outings because it’s not too long and not too short. (Average time 1.5-3 hours)
