Edgar Evins

On Sunday March 15, 2015, Nancy Juodenas and 3 hikers form Murfreesboro, explored the Millenium and Merritt Ridge Trails in Edgar Evins State Park.  It was the first really spring-like day in a long time and the sun and warmth were a welcome change.  The trail conditions were quite muddy, but once the ridge was attained, the trail conditions improved.  Lunch was enjoyed by the shore of Center Hill Lake and some hikers even got their feet wet in the refreshing coldness of the lake.  On the return trip down the ridge, since the day had warmed considerably, some early wildflowers were spotted, such as toothwort, spring beauty and harbinger of spring. The highlight was a patch of the beautiful white bloodroot.  It was a great day for a hike!
