Jack's Hill

Highlight • Trail

Jack’s Hill is part of the historic Santa Fe Trail, which was used by traders and settlers in the 19th century. You can see the trail ruts at the Ivan L.

The trails here offer a variety of terrain, from river bottomlands and marshes to upland forests and open meadows. You can also enjoy the views of the George H. Sparks Reservoir and the Sweetwater Creek rapids. Jack’s Hill is a great place to experience the natural and cultural heritage of Douglas County while getting a good workout.
