Trail Overview
Freeman Road follows the North Fork of the Illinois Bayou, and includes 3 water crossings, mud holes, rock scramblings, multiple campsites, and a Civil War Era cemetery. This route is a good starting point for the Illinois Bayou Granite Luge. During the fall season, the photo opportunities cannot be matched. During summer the Bayou offers great swimming opportunities to cool off.

Difficulty
Mud holes and water crossings can be deep after heavy rains, most mud holes have bypasses. Some parts of the water crossings have large submerged boulders that are sometimes easy to get stuck on.
