We had 8 hikers to hike Cummins Falls State Park & Burgess Falls State Park on a hot and humid day. We met at the Mack Prichard Visitor Center at Cummins Falls and hiked the Blackburn Fork Trail to the overlook. We took the John Cummins Trail to start another hike on the other side of the park. We took the Low Gap Trail to the Lou Garrison loop and then continued on to the river overlook. Our views were limited because of the foliage but we saw a few flowers and lots of blackberries about to be ripe. Then we drove to Burgess Falls State Park and enjoyed lunch under a pavilion. We hiked the River Trail to see the waterfalls along the way and returned via the graveled Access Trail. Hikers were Melodie Baker, Jim Barritt, Jay Brain, Craig Doucette, Lora McBride, Sara Pollard, Bobetta and Russ from Knoxville.
