Riding Francis Slocum State Forest

By: HRA Crack Research Team

Part of the Mississinewa Lake Reservoir Management
Project, Francis Slocum is located on the Northeast
side of the like in Miami County about 7 miles east of
Peru

The exact number and length of trails is not known,
but the trials are classified as "pretty". Many follow
the Mississinewa River. The hills are easy and rolling.
Some trails miles are rocky and sometimes muddy.
There is no campground. A fun day ride.

There is a Horseman's Day-Use area (no camping). It is
a graveled parking area, no water, no facilities.

However, just south of Francis Slocum is a campground
owned by the Frances Slocum Trail Riders. It has water,
electric, poles for picket lines, pit toilets. You must
have permission from the FSTR to camp there.
