- **Event Name**: Big Sugar Creek State Park, Missouri
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: The park has the 3-mile Chinquapin Trail Loop. We will explore the larger drainage basin on the left-hand branch to see the rich herbaceous growth on the creek bottom. An extensive chert glade will arise on our right as we go. About a mile upstream the trail enters scenic limestone ledges worth viewing. Relatively uncommon blue ash trees grow out of crevices there. The name comes from old pioneer use of inner bark as a dye, and the four-sided nature of its quadrilateral twigs gives the tree its Latin name. The chinquapin trail title comes from the many Ozark chinquapin saplings that are found along the trail after it climbs out of the ledges to get over to the other leg of the trail loop. If you want to see that part be aware that there are a few tricky side hills on the way up, and you can come back down on an easy and wide bridle trail that runs down the crest of the ridge between the pair of trails. 

Leader: Fred Paillet is Adjunct Professor of Uark Geosciences and has published on chinquapin and chestnut investigations from around the world.
