Experience this 4.3-mile out-and-back trail near Church Hill, Tennessee. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 52 min to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.

This summer, TEHCC will be doing a series of hikes to introduce new hires and interns to the beauty of Northeast Tennessee. Of course, this is open to all hikers who want to attend. The first in this series will be hiking around the lake at Bays Mountain and to the fire tower, which is just over 4 miles. The fire tower climb makes for a moderate ~2 miles, but the lakeside trail balances things out with its gentle climb. Experience the beauty of Bays Mountain with this picturesque trail and gorgeous mountain-top view. We will also take time to visit the animal habitats and say hello to wolves, bobcats, and birds of prey! A great hike even if you have done it many times before. Meet in front of the Nature Center.

Time to start the paddling season! I hope you’ll plan to join me on June 8th for an easy paddling trip, relatively local, likely on either Ft. Patrick Henry Lake area or Boone Lake area. Exact locations/times/distances will be announced later. Beginners or first-time paddlers welcome! The club will transport our boats (4 sit-in, 3 sit-on, 1 canoe), PFDs, and paddles to location, so all you need to bring is water, snacks, and any other supplies you might want (sunscreen, etc.). You are also welcome to bring your own boat to join us, if desired.
