__TOC__
== Trail Overview ==
<!-- Enter a overview of the trail. What attracts you to this trail, points of interest, types of flowers, lakes, and peaks that you see along the way. -->
Although part of the [[Warriors Path State Park]] mountain bike trail system, the portion of this trail beyond I-81 is technically TVA managed public land. Most notable is that hunting is allowed on this property in accordance with state regulation.

Wahoo is only accessible from [[Trail connects to::Darwin's Revenge]]. 

== How to get there ==
<!-- Please enter detailed instruction on how to find the trail head. -->
From main entrance of [[Warriors Path State Park]]:
#Go north on Fall Creek Road for 2.4 miles.
#Turn right (east) onto Old Mill Road for 0.8 miles.
#Turn right (south) onto Childress Ferry Road for just roughly 100 yards.
#Turn left (east) onto Buttermilk Road for 1.2 miles.
#Turn right (south) onto Freeman Road for 0.5 mile.
#Continue when road changes from asphalt to gravel.
Trailhead at gravel parking lot.

== Route Description==
<!-- Detailed description of the route. Is there any side trails that are worth traveling? -->
If your goal is just Wahoo, the quickest way is to begin on Lake Road until you see the sign for Darwin's Revenge to the left. This is the Darwin's Connector and is a wide path, possibly an old road that tee's up to Darwin's Revenge. Turn to the right and take the trail until you see the sign for Wahoo.

== Typical Conditions ==
<!-- Typical conditions throughout the year of what to expect on the trail. Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees?  -->
The mountain biking association [http://ntmba.org/ SORBA Tri-Cities] handles the trail maintenance, thus generally in good condition.  While there are no blazes to guide you through the forest, the narrow single tracks are well established.  Grab a trail map at the parking lot kiosk to help you decipher intersections; some which could use signs.  Be aware for approaching bike riders who can come up quickly on your group.  Step aside to let them safely pass.

==Fees, Permits, etc. ==
<!-- Please list any Fees, Permits, Regulations, etc. that may be required on this trail.-->
No fee required.  Dogs are allowed on or off leash.  Do not drink any water without treatment!
