Driskill Mountain is located in rural, north Louisiana. About 11
miles south of Arcadia, the famed town where outlaw-couple Bonnie
& Clyde were killed, Driskill Mountain towers at 535 feet above
sea-level.
The hike to the summit is about 1 mile from the parking area,
Mt. Zion Independent Presbyterian Church. The church is a red
building next to the Driskill Cemetary. Restrooms are available
next to the church as well. Just follow the dirt road behind the
church, past the radio antenna, and past the big metal gate. A sign
will point to the summit about a half mile down the road, but stay
on the main dirt road until that sign. The trail goes on to the
summit.
A small rock cairn marks the summit, and a metal box contains a
log book and various business cards of past visitors. The box and
log book belong to the Driskill family, that is the reason this
cache is marked as a virtual cache. The land itself also belongs to
the Driskills but is open to walk-in visitors.
Please post a picture of yourself similar to the one listed with
the cache to show that you've actually made the wearisome trek to
the highest peak in Louisiana.
Have fun, enjoy the view, Louisiana's landscape doesn't offer
very many such views.
UPDATE 6/5/03
I have contacted Mrs. Bowman, a very kind lady, and she has
confirmed that Driskill Mountain is indeed open to walk-in
visitors. The trail should be fairly well marked, and as long as
you stay on or near the trail, you won't be trespassing on any
private land. Enjoy the hike!
