re: Clark Creek...advice? Things to do?(RECAP PG 2)

After you are done the hike you aren't going to want to eat at a sit down restaraunt like the Francis house. If you do the hike correctly you will be filthy, sweaty, muddy etc. I usually stop at the subway or Mcdonald's on the way back to Baton Rouge.

If the pond store is open its worth it to stop by. Grab a cold soda, some candy and a map. If you like history at all you'll want to stop by the pond store. It probably looks much like it did 100 years ago.

There is some bathrooms at the start of the trail and a honor box for parking. $4 to park. No cell phone coverage for most of the trail but its pretty hard to get lost. Just make sure you get out before it gets dark. Cut it close once as I lost track of time down at the creek bed.
