Far enough. Went to Jackson River north of Hot Springs, Hidden Valley area. After going as far as possible by auto I hiked along the river. Snakes were present but caused no problem, chiggers and ticks were numerous and aggressive. Path was not good so I waded in the river. All for the chance to catch large trout. My efforts were rewarded by catching 1 small sunfish 1 sucker. The chiggers made sure I would long remember this trip.
