Cumberland Trails Conference Names New Executive Director

Our ongoing exploration of the Tennessee River corridor reveals new wonders each season. The diverse habitats along the river — from bottomland hardwood forests to limestone bluffs — support an extraordinary array of plant and animal species found nowhere else.

Recent additions to the state park system in the Cumberland region have expanded public access to some truly spectacular natural areas. New trail segments connect existing path networks, creating longer loop options for day hikers and backpackers alike. The views from the newly opened overlooks along the plateau rim are among the finest in Tennessee.
