This trail winds along streams and the Piney River most of its 8.5 mile length. Designated as a pocket wilderness by the Bowater Paper CO., it is now part of the Cumberland Trail. The trail is not difficult but is long and the hike should be undertaken only by hikers that can complete 8.5 miles. Sites of interest along the trail include a picturesque 100 foot suspension bridge and the remains of an old dinky railroad bed. A visit to the Spider Den will be included, if enough hikers are interested. We will need to arrange a shuttle on this one way trail and will hike at a moderate pace. Wear boots, and bring water, lunch and snacks. We will depart at 8:00am CT at the Cracker Barrel in Crossville. For those living South of town, we will plan to meet at the Trinity Tabernacle shortly around 8:10am. Gas cost is $4.00.
