Camping in Pickett State Park. Hiking in Big South Fork NSRRA

March 17-19 – Camping in Pickett State Park.  Hiking in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.   Joint event with the Murfreesboro Chapter.  Marietta Poteet will lead two hikes in Big South Fork NSRRA:   Rock Creek Loop and Twin Arches/Charit Creek Loop.   Rock Creek Loop is 7.5 miles, rated moderate with several steep sections.  It follows an old railroad grade with the potential of some lovely wildflower sections.  Twin Arches/Charit Creek Loop is about 6.5 miles with some steep places.  We will hike up to two  beautiful arches and down to Charit Creek Lodge.  Hopefully we’ll see more wildflowers.  Both hikes are rated moderate, but both have some steep rocky spots.  Please be prepared for some challenging sections.  We will camp at Pickett State Park Campground.  Marietta has reserved six campsites.  Please email Marietta at nannietta@benlomand.net to register for a spot.
