CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Dunbar Cave will participate in Tennessee State Parks’ free guided hikes along with 55 other State parks.
The free hike at Dunbar Cave will begin January 1 at 8:30 a.m. and go until 9:30 a.m. Join the park rangers for the first hike of the year. The hike will be on the 1-mile short loop trail and see if any animals are out and stirring. This is a moderate hike so wear good walking shoes. It is suitable for all ages.
“Our First Day Hikes are our most popular annual guided event statewide,” said Deputy Commissioner for Parks and Conservation Brock Hill. “It’s a great way to start your New Year’s resolutions off right and see the wonder of our state during this beautiful season.”
Tennessee State Parks’ First Day Hikes are part of America’s State Parks First Day hikes initiative in all 50 states. While some of the hikes will be throughout New Year’s Day at various times, others will begin on Dec. 31 and go in to the New Year. Some hikes will be approximately one mile in length and tailored for novice hikers, while others are lengthier and will be more strenuous.
