Indian Boundary Recreation Area Hike and Swim

This is an easy trail around Indian Boundary Lake. The loop is 3.6 miles on a very nice hiking-biking trail along the shoreline with only minor ups and downs. We will start our hike at the swimming area which has a broad sandy beach and restrooms. The hike is rated as easy. We recommend shoes to wear to and from the hike plus sturdy hiking shoes, other weather appropriate clothing, swimsuit, a drink, and a camera. After the hike, we will have lunch, bring your lunch, and if you want, take a swim. Picnic tables are available. There is an Indian Boundary Recreation Area parking fee – $3 per vehicle ($1.50 if you have an Interagency Pass/Golden Passport or Regional/Forest Pass #) For those who want to carpool, we leave from Denny’s Restaurant off the Watt Road Exit off I-75 South at 8:00 am. We will stop at Tellico Grain Co for their delicious pastries. We expect to arrive at the Indian Boundary swimming area/trailhead by 10:00 am and start the hike at 10:15 am. Carpool dollars are requested of all riders. Round trip from Knoxville is about 160 miles.
