Promoting the development and enjoyment of Tennessee trails.
Saturday, February 24 — SHORTER HIKE: Turtletown Falls Trail, 5.2 miles, 730’ el. gain, lollypop, moderate. LONGER HIKE: After the Turtletown Falls hike, drive to Coker Creek Falls Trail for an out-and-back hike, for a total of 9.9 miles, 1320’ el. gain, moderate/strenuous. Turtletown Falls Trail is well maintained, winds through a beautiful forest, and takes us to not one but two waterfalls. What more can you ask for? Coker Creek Trail is somewhat rougher but provides lots of entertainment along this whitewater creek, including fine cascades and waterfalls. Check the weather forecast and choose appropriate layers; wear hiking shoes or boots; bring water, snacks and/or lunch; gather up hiking poles, rain jacket, and sunscreen as needed. For carpooling/caravanning, meet at 8:30 am ET in the parking area near the gas station at Food City, 6043 Relocation Way, Ooltewah, right (east) off I-75 exit 11. https://bit.ly/3dwmbxn Please register with hike leader Betsy Darken, (423) 718-2060.
