Jones Mill Trail, Long Hunter State Park

Thursday, March 7 – Jones Mill Trail, Long Hunter State Park.  9 miles, 4 to 5 hours.  The trail is a series of 4 mountain bike loops, which we’ll combine into a barbell shaped double loop that is mostly flat and easy.  Mountain bike traffic is very light to non-existent.  Terrain varies over the course of the trail from cedar glades to cedar forest to deciduous forest, with some lovely old rock walls.  There are awesome lake views, especially on the furthest loop and second half of the hike.  Bring lunch and water and wear good boots or trail runners. A walking stick or poles would be useful in several rocky sections.  We will meet  at 9 am at the Jones Mill Trailhead near the entrance of the Bryant Grove section of Long Hunter State Park, Mt. Juliet, TN.  To register or for more information contact Jim Barritt, jsbarritt@gmail.com or 931-492-3212.
