Fort Pillow State Park

We will hike the 8 mile Red Trail which is rated strenuous by West Tennessee standards due to some very steep hills. Early in the hike we visit the site of the historic fort, scene of a well-known Civil War battle. We will have lunch overlooking Fort Pillow Lake. After lunch, we plan to offer an option that shortens the hike by about a mile and avoids some of the steepest hills. Otherwise we will continue hiking the hills on the Red Trail. Good boots and hiking poles suggested. Bring a lunch, snack and plenty of water. Registration is required.
