McGregor Park to Fort Defiance

2.7 miles Easy Out and Back

After the hike we can eat lunch at Wendy’s. The whole hike is paved. We walk along both the Cumberland and Red Rivers, cross the Red River on a highway sidewalk and hike up switchbacks through the woods to the Fort’s Museum. There are a couple of vistas overlooking downtown Clarksville and a few Civil War cannons along the way. Dogs are permitted if on a leash. The Museum has bathrooms, exhibits, and a short video.

Start walking at 9 a.m. CDT from McGregor Park Cumberland Riverwalk Pavilion. This is where the flags are. Contact Hike Leader: Carol Segura (931)326-9110
