Little Soddy Creek Historic Coal Mining Loop

January 7 – 14, 2012. Students from the University of Kansas worked in the Soddy Gorge Segment in Hamilton County. The goal was to create an interpretative loop trail through the Little Soddy Creek historic coal mining area. A brochure about this loop is available here. Under CTC supervision, students and other volunteers built the loop trail, picked up trash in the area, and marked the trail with yellow blazes. Volunteers donated 410 hours to complete this project.

The creek crossing shown below was stabilized and turned into a step over rock crossing during the week. Temperatures were in the 40’s and overcast. Yes, the water was cold . . .

Click on the picture below for more details and bigger images.

Students from U of Kansas first had to clear away trash before building the loop trail in the Little Soddy historic area.

With any luck, these students will return one day with their families, point proudly and say, “I built that.”
