The open grassy area at the start and the many easy lake access points makes this a popular trail for hikers with dogs who like to play in the water. Take a snack if you plan on hiking to the top of the limestone bluff so you can take a break and enjoy the fabulous view—you might spot a bald eagle. A local Boy Scout troop has labeled many of the tree species found here. This trail is just past Tellico Dam on Hwy. 444, about 30 miles south of Knoxville, Tenn.

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.
