If you park near the trail head, I would guesstimate that it is about two hundred yards to the waterfall. The distance is not that great, but the slickness of the trail especially during a rainy period, and the steepness of the trail particularly in the first fifty yards is what makes the trail strenuous. The return trip back to your vehicle will be the hardest part of your experience.

Exactly how far is it from the place you park until you get to the waterfall?

No, Michelle, I am sorry but within the Sicily Island Hills Wildlife Management Area there are no horse trails and no horse riding allowed.

7 mile trail is blazed but not well trodden past the Big Creek. Grown up in switch cane.

We took the 7 mile hike this past weekend. What is that man made rock thing you go by? We are curious.
thanks

Yes, I would be delighted if you could explore the history of oil and gas exploration in SIH. Thank you so much for your kind offer.

Comment on Forest Lookout Tower at Sicily Island Hills by DeWayne Guice

It was John Feilding Guice who helped Mr. J. D. Weeks to erect and man the tower. For years we were able to climb the tower and talk to the man on duty and observe the view. The ladder to the tower went straight up and was not side to side as is most towers. I have my Grand pa’s retirment certificate when he retired fron the tower January 1st. 1957 after serving 5 years in the tower. More history can be obtained by contacting my father Loma D. Guice in Sicily Island. I believe the last tower attendent was Mr. White.
