Virgin Falls Hike

Thursday, April 24 – Virgin Falls State Natural Area.  2080 Scotts Gulf Road, Sparta.  9.0 miles round trip rated strenuous.   Joint hike with the Murfreesboro and Nashville Chapters.    The trail descends around 900 feet in elevation along a path that in many areas is rocky with uneven footing.  Because this trail is rugged, we will allow 6-7 hours for this hike and will have to maintain a pace to allow plenty of daylight.  Virgin Falls State Natural Area is the most visited state natural area in Tennessee with interesting scenery and features three beautiful waterfalls: Big Laurel Falls, Sheep Cave Falls and Virgin Falls.  Bring lunch and water, and wear sturdy hiking boots.  For more information or to sign up contact Sara Pollard, 615-714-3610 or sara.pollard@mtsu.edu
