Bridling a Pipeline Route Opens Shawnee Hills Trails
Gene Johns proposes turning clear land along the Capline crude oil line from the Ohio River near Joppa to Patoka into bridal and horseback riding trails. A connection to the George Rogers Clark corridor could form a river to river route through Shawnee National Forest. Costs and land availability remain undecided as plans unfold with local riding clubs and the Shawnee Hills Recreation Association.
