How to get there

From Johnson City, TN

  1. 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.
  2. Take the first right on to Rolling Hills Drive.
  3. When Rolling Hills Drive ends, turn right on to Highridge Road.
  4. Drive to end of road and parking/picnic area.

This is the primary trailhead location. There are two alternative access points.
