How to get there
From Johnson City, TN
- From just past the intersection of Cherokee Road (TN 67) and University Parkway (US 321) on Cherokee Road, turn on to Buffalo Road through Pine Oaks golf course.
- Take the first right on to Rolling Hills Drive.
- When Rolling Hills Drive ends, turn right on to Highridge Road.
- Drive to end of road and parking/picnic area.
This is the primary trailhead location. There are two alternative access points.
