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.

Darwin's Revenge is the red line. Note: The Shipley Ferry Rd seen near the south edge of the trail is a private road and not publicly accessible. There is no public parking and access without taking Darwin's Revenge.

Trail Overview[edit]

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 Darwin's Revenge.

How to get there[edit]

From main entrance of Warriors Path State Park:

  1. Go north on Fall Creek Road for 2.4 miles.
  2. Turn right (east) onto Old Mill Road for 0.8 miles.
  3. Turn right (south) onto Childress Ferry Road for just roughly 100 yards.
  4. Turn left (east) onto Buttermilk Road for 1.2 miles.
  5. Turn right (south) onto Freeman Road for 0.5 mile.
  6. Continue when road changes from asphalt to gravel.

Trailhead at gravel parking lot.

Route Description[edit]

Elevation profile

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.

The trail itself is a relatively moderate grade up for half the trail then down. No single sections of sustained steep ascents or descent.

Typical Conditions[edit]

The mountain biking association 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.[edit]

No fee required. Dogs are allowed on or off leash. Do not drink any water without treatment!
