We are starting on the west trailhead and starting our hike on the Shawnee Run trail, going on to the Chinquapin trail, then back on the Shawnee and Towering Sycamore trail before ending on the Shawnee trail and the parking lot. Towering Sycamore has 4 possible stream crossings as well as well as deciduous trees. Shawnees Run contains deciduous trees as well as the Fulling Mill site with a spring fed waterfall. there are three possible stream crossings on the Shawnee Run trail. The Chinquapin trail goes through a young forest dominated by oaks and other hardwood trees. Total estimated miles is 4. In case of wet weather, we can cut out the Towering Sycamore trail. Estimated elevation gain over 4 miles is 320 feet. Afterwards, we can eat at the Shakertown restaurant and share a meal together. Eating at the restaurant is not required. I'm including a menu so you can make your decision. The Trustees Table Menu - Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill I don't know if the spring waterfall is flowing.
