Sunken Trace
This early early interstate road building venture produced a snake infested, mosquito beset, American Indian traveled
forest path. Lamented by the pious, cussed by the impious, it tried everyone's strength and patience.

When the trail became so water logged that wagons could not be pulled through, travelers cut new paths
through the nearby woods as a detour.

At this location you can see three different detours made to avoid mud into which travelers sank, making
progress slow, dangerous or even impossible.
