Pot Point Loop

Saturday, December 7 –  Cumberland Trail, Prentice Cooper State Forest.  Pot Point Loop.  11.7 miles. Joint outing with the Murfreesboro Chapter, Sara Pollard.   Difficult due to distance.  This trail goes along the Grand Canyon of the Tennessee River where this beautiful river cuts a gorge through the Cumberland Plateau.  The trail is located in the Prentice Cooper State Forest in Marion County and is a section of the south end of the Cumberland Trail.  We will stop by and enjoy the panoramic view from Snooper’s Rock, walk on top of the Natural Bridge and enjoy views from Ransom Hollow and Pot Point.  We will also pass McNabb Gulf and Hemlock Branch backcountry campsites.  Pot Point is named for a rough section of the Tennessee River below the trail called the Pot. Bring water, snacks and lunch.    For more information and to sign up contact Joan Hartvigsen at 931-636-2914 or jhartvigs@comcast.net.
