This is a very simple trail looping through Hedge (Osage Orange) and Hickorys. It runs fast along the creek bank offers simple dodges through the trees. Don't plan for this to be the only trail you ride, rather add it among the trails available in the Lick Creek area. This and the East Lick Creek Trail are adjacent to a great paved bike lane planned to stretch between Chatham and Springfield.
Interstate 55 South of Springfield to Toronto Road. Turn West off Toronto Road exit. Toronto Road will become Woodside Rd. soon after 4-way stop. Stay on Woodside to RR crossing. Make immediate left (south) after RR Crossing onto Pedigo Lane (total distance from I-55 - 2.2 miles); parking available immediately on left in gravel lot. Head south on Pedigo Lane (a blacktop road) Road splits into paved bike lane.) Trailhead on right about 1.5 miles from parking. Park sign indicates trailhead.
