Nestled on
the banks of the Ohio River, Payne Hollow offers a unique opportunity to
reflect on themes of simplicity, creativity, and environmental stewardship.
Together, we will walk the historic Payne Landing Road to the Hubbard home,
then delve into the Hubbards' writings and artwork while viewing the river.
Guests must
provide their own transportation to Payne Hollow's base camp near Milton,
KY. Participants must be able to traverse difficult terrain, which
includes a 500-ft elevation change during the 3/4-mile walk. Appropriate
clothing and footwear for rough outdoor hiking is required. All
participants must sign waivers affirming their physical capacity to undertake
this strenuous outing.
Payne Hollow
is largely in the state that Harlan and Anna Hubbard left it. While that is
part of its appeal, participants should be aware that there are no modern
amenities. Participants should bring—and be able to carry in and out—drinking
water and appropriate food to maintain energy levels for the hike. Sun and
insect protection are highly recommended.
