Numerous bridges (28) cross the many streams and coves; one bridge is 15 feet in the air and 85 feet long because of navigation regulations. Stiles have been built to assist you over fences and benches are scattered along the trail to give you an opportunity to rest and enjoy the view. A nice boardwalk in one trail section will keep you from getting your shoes wet. There are even several boat landings for those that live across the lake and don't want to drive around the lake to get there. These trails are around 35 miles south of Knoxville, Tennessee. Take exit 81 off I-75 turning left onto Hwy. 321. Turn right onto Hwy. 95.

Topographical Maps
Most of the trails are overlaid on topographic (or topo) maps. Topo maps are an attempt to show real variations in elevation on a flat map. If you know how to read a topo map, the map itself can tell you a lot. Here are a few tips to help you out.
