Volunteer Trail - Sara



We had 5 hikers on the Volunteer Trail at Long Hunter State Park. There was rain in the forecast and that may have kept folks from signing up. It only drizzled a couple of times, just enough to put on rain jackets. It was cloudy all day and we had the 11-mile trail overlooking the lake to ourselves. We had lunch at a backcountry campsite. Saw lots of tiny, but pretty wildflowers along the way. This is an easy trail and there are interesting rock formations and views of the lake. Hikers were Jim Barritt, Jay Brain, Joe Campbell, Sara Pollard and Marietta Poteet.

Long Hunter State Park - Volunteer Trail - Sara


Sara Pollard led an 11 mile hike on the Volunteer Trail at Long Hunter State Park. The morning started off foggy, but by 10;00am the fog was gone and we could see beautiful views of Percy Priest Lake. 

We hiked 5.5 miles to the backcountry campsite and had lunch at Campsite #1. There is very little elevation change on this trail, and it’s well marked.  Temps were in the 60’s and we saw two deer along the way. Hikers were Ann Ford, Cindy Leech, Sara Pollard and Jan Safavi.
