Knoxville – Gallaher Bend Greenway/Clark Center Park

We will hike in and back on the Gallaher Bend Greenway for 4.5 miles on a fairly easy trail, which has beautiful views of Melton Lake. The hike will start at the swimming area of the park, so you can cool off after the hike with a swim, and/or try the kayaks and canoe we will be bringing. Feel free to bring your own boats, floats, or paddleboards. Bring a beach towel, sun block and your own life vest, if you have one, for boating. We will have a few vests to borrow. You can wear your bathing suit under your hiking clothes or change in the rest room. Water shoes might be useful if you have them. Since there is a picnic area near the swimming area, bring your lunch sandwich and something to share with the group for potluck side dish or snacks. Meet at the trailhead at 10.00 am. For directions, put 7630 Bull Bluff Road, Knoxville into your GPS. Please email Penny Lukin with questions and to pre-register.
