Cumberland Trail – Pot Point Loop

Saturday, December 7 – Cumberland Trail – Pot Point Loop. 11.7-mile loop rated difficult due to distance. Joint hike with the Highland Rim chapter. The trail is in the Prentice Cooper State Forest in Marion County and is a section of the Cumberland Trail. This trail goes along the Grand Canyon of Tennessee where the beautiful Tennessee River cuts a gorge through the Cumberland Plateau. We’ll stop by and enjoy the panoramic view from Snooper’s Rock, walk on top of the Natural Bridge, and enjoy views from Ransom Hollow and Pot Point. We’ll also pass the McNabb Gulf backcountry campsite. Pot Point is named for a rough section of the Tennessee River below the trail called The Pot. Bring lunch and water and wear sturdy hiking boots.
