Big Hill Pond, Pocahontas TN

April 17, 2021 All day

Wild azalea at Big Hill Pond SP

Big Hill Pond State Park trail, Pocahontas, TN. Howard Ropp will lead us on a hike that will meander around the Travis McNatt Lake passing a 70-foot observation (fire) tower that offers panoramic views of the lake and surrounding hills/countryside. Edging along the lake we will cross the boardwalk that winds through the Dismal Swamp. The hike is rated moderate to difficult because of the terrain and length (about 7 miles). We will meet at Panera Bread in Jackson, TN at 8:00 a.m. or meet us at the trailhead parking lot 9:15-9:30 a.m. There MAY be an option to eat at Top of the River in Michie after the hike (will know for sure closer to hike date). Please register with Howard at howardropp1@gmail.com or 731.693.4248 so that we don’t leave you behind. We will leave Panera promptly at 8:05 a.m. NOTE: Howard plans to camp at the park on Friday night and possibly on Saturday night. You are welcome to camp, too. The campground fee is $20 per night. Please let Howard know if you plan to camp and/or hike.
