Being a TN state park, the dirt and gravel trails are kept in good condition. Some of the trail sections are steep, thus can be slippery after a rain.   
The hike is fairly level with some minor elevation changes. Drainage streams are typically covered with short walking bridges. Some portions of the trail can be uneven and rocky.
