Blog of the Nashville Chapter of Tennessee Trails Association. Monthly Meeting: 4th Tuesday - 7 PM - REI Brentwood.
Thursday, February 21, 2013
On February 16, six hikers from Nashville drove 2 hours to Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park in Eva TN. It is a lovely park perched above the Tennessee River/Kentucky Lake. The temperatures were in the 40s which the intermittent sun helped to feel more like the 50s. The trail system in this park is organized into 4 interconnecting loops of 3. 5, 10 and 20 miles. The loops were very well blazed and signed. We were also provided with a color coded trail map. It was very easy for hikers in the group to chose either the 5 or 10 mile loop and meet back at the starting place which was the interesting Tennessee River Folklife Center. Both hiking groups were finished before 2:00, leaving plenty of time to view two very interesting movies at the Center and explore the exhibits. Later some hikers partook of the abundant antique decor and catfish at the 1850's Log House Restaurant in Camden. It was a great day for a winter hike with wonderful views of the river and no bugs!
