Fort Pillow State Park

Saturday, Feb 13 – Fort Pillow State Park 7-8 miles, Strenuous
We will hike the 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. Good boots suggested. Bring a lunch, plenty of water and a pen for signing in. Registration is required by 6:00 p.m. on February 12. Contact Wayne Simpson at w.simpson1@comcast.net or call (not text) 901-385-1988.
