New Year! New You!! New Hike!!! What better way to ring in the new year (and work off last night's party) than a refreshing hike at one of Tennessee's newest State Parks, North Chickamauga Creek Gorge?! Officially designated a state park this past September, North Chickamauga Creek Gorge has been hosting hikers, kayakers, and backpackers alike since 1999 as a state natural area. Home to one portion of the 300-mile Cumberland Trail, this state park boasts some of Southeastern Tennessee's most stunning views.
Join me on New Year's Day as we tackle a small hike.
This isn't your introductory hike. Expect steep inclines, rocky terrain, and high elevations. We will be taking it slowly along the 2-mile trip out and back to the overlook (for 4 miles).
If you want to start the new year on a thrilling note, register today and meet up with us!

Happy New Year, y'all!
I invite you to join us for a beautiful day hike. We will meet for quick introductions before departing on the 3.7-mile loop. This moderate trail offers exceptional views of Percy Priest Lake as we walk along its shoreline. At a modest elevation gain of 262 feet, be prepared to traverse a few rockier patches. Otherwise, the trail is relatively flat. (Please note that if there is rain earlier in the week, the trail can get muddy in spots. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear!) Most people complete the loop in less than an hour and a half, but we'll take it slow, with frequent stops as needed. Pack a snack or two (or perhaps a lunch) and your favorite water bottle, and meet me out at one of Nashville's most underrated gems.
