Come spend National Trails Day "out on the trail" all day long at YOUR State Park! You can enjoy a day full of guided hikes and outdoor discovery. And it's all FREE!
Here is the day's schedule:
Sunrise Hike - 6:00 AM - You’ve got to be an “early bird” to greet the summer sunrise! Come for a short hike as we watch the new day dawn across the green East Tennessee hills. Meet at the big parking lot uphill from Park Headquarters - the (former) Pool Parking Lot - and we’ll carpool.
Hike the Mountain Bike Trails - 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM - Did you know that there is a National Recreational Trail system here at Warriors’ Path? And National Trails Day is a perfect day to enjoy these awesome trails! Come enjoy one of two different scenic 2-3 mile hikes through diverse wildlife habitats. Wear comfortable hiking shoes. Bring water and snacks. Meet at the Warriors’ Path Mountain Bike Trail parking lot.
Hike and Creek Walk - 3:00 PM - Hike to a clear flowing stream, and then walk IN the stream! Discover the amazing world of life under water. Wear old clothes and old tennis shoes - be prepared to get wet! Meet at the big parking lot uphill from Park Headquarters - the (former) Pool Parking Lot - and we’ll carpool.
100 INCH Hike - 6:00 PM - One hundred inches isn’t very far, unless you’re as small as a bug! Let’s explore life on the tiny side with a series of VERY SHORT hikes. Meet at the big parking lot uphill from Park Headquarters - the (former) Pool Parking Lot.
Night Hike - 9:00 PM - Take a hike on the dark side of the day. We’ll find a whole new world of nature in the night-time forest. Wear good hiking boots and bring a dim flashlight. Meet at the big parking lot uphill from Park Headquarters - the (former) Pool Parking Lot - and we’ll carpool.
