    Default Land Between the Lakes shuttle?

    I’m considering hiking the North-South Trail that goes through Land Between the Lakes this summer. Does anyone know of any shuttle services or trail angels in the area?

    Default Land Between the Lakes shuttle?

    It makes me happy to hear someone else is giving this trail a go, I spent a good amount of time in college trying to do it in one shot, never succeeded! I'm not familiar with any shuttle services running out there, maybe try to convince a friend to drop you at the start and have your car at the exit? Forces you to complete the hike, but I've hitchhiked LBL a time or two, people are willing if you're desperate. Have fun!

    WB home page has an extensive listing of shuttle operators for free download.

    I saw the download/list for shuttle services along the AT, but this isn't on the AT. Where can I find a list that covers other trails?

    Some of these shuttle operators will travel a long distance. Pick the closest operator to your destination and ask if they will pick you up, or they might be able to recommend someone that will do the shuttle run.

    It’s over 300 miles from anywhere on the AT to Land Between the Lakes.

    I really dont know why some folks have posted or suggested the things they have because they are useless. No AT shuttle driver is going to have a realistic suggestion for a 30 mile trail 300 miles away.

    Jared you may want to look at FB for things like "Friends of LBL, N-S Trail group" etc etc this is how I have done the whole sheltowee trace, via facebook "friends of the ST" groups
