The towns of Jonesboro and Anna are located south of Cobden. A marker at the Historic Fairgrounds in Jonesboro commemorates the third of seven debates between Abe Lincoln and Stephen A Douglas in 1856. Interesting enough, Jonesboro was the only northern city to be occupied by Union troops to enforce loyalty. Home of the Ruby Lady. The trail is used by bikers and hikers during the summer months and snowmobilers and skiers during the winter.
Shuttles are available to both bikers and canoers on the Root River.
