Southeastern Outings Dayhike in Lake Guntersville State Park

Southeastern Outings Dayhike in Lake Guntersville State Park

Presented by Southeastern Outings at Floor and Decor Store is meeting place

The hiking trails in Lake Guntersville State Park traverse moderate to difficult terrain and cover over 36 miles of park property. They are multi-use trails, serving as hiking, biking and horse trails. The trails are varied with some following alongside the banks of the Tennessee River, others leading to seasonal waterfalls and wildflowers, and some piquing your interest just by their name alone such as the Old Still Path and the Moonshine Trail.  Our hike February 16 will be moderate.

The trails we’ll hike differ in length from .5 miles to 3.5 miles yet connect with one another to form a loop of trails that add up to about 5 miles.  Pack a picnic lunch and head out for a day exploring the ridges, waterfalls and river in beautiful Lake Guntersville State Park.

Bring a friend or several if you wish.  Well-behaved, carefully supervised children age 8 and up welcome.
