Trail Overview
Located in Warriors Path State Park and part of the Mountain Bike Trail system, Darwin's Revenge is one of the three main loops to hike or bike. Good for stretching your legs, but don't expect seclusion or sounds of nature as this trail in particular stays close to I-81, but it does offer some good views of the river.
How to get there
From the 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.

Route Description
Darwin's Revenge is typically done as a loop using a little bit of Lake Road and Boneyard Connector to either get started or to finish.
The trail has connections with Boneyard, Boneyard Connector, Wahoo, and Darwin's Connector
Typical Conditions
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.
No fee required. Dogs are allowed on or off leash. Do not drink any water without treatment!
