Norris Dam State Park, Rocky Top, TN

plateau, upper-cumberland

October 16 @ 7:30 am – 3:00 pm

Joint hike with Upper Cumberland Chapter. We’ll go to the Park Office on the West side of the park to use the bathroom. We’ll drive a short distance to the Harmon Picnic area where there is plenty of parking and where the hike starts. We’ll do 6 moderate miles which will include the Garmon Trail to the Harmon Loop (go right and do 1/2 the loop Then take the Marine Railway Spur to the Marine Railway Trail and then we’ll backtrack since the six miles are done as an in and out. After the first hike we can either eat at the Harmon Pucnic area or at the Norris Lake. For those who want to continue hiking we can go to the East Side and do the Storybook Trail to the Christmas Fern Trail to Tall Timber Trail and the Highpoint Spur trail and back. That is an additional 4 miles as an in and out. I have a map and directions for about 10 people.

Bring hiking poles, (electrolytes) water, lunch and a snack. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Don’t forget tick/bug spray and sunscreen. Persons 18 and over, members and non-members welcome. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Carpool gas cost is $7. Depart 7:30 am CDST from the Landers Crossing (former Crossville Outlet Mall) SW parking lot. We’ll go directly to the Park office to use the bathroom and then start at the Marine Spur trail for the most parking.
