Driving Directions

Please join us for a National Trails Day hike along the Cumberland Trail in Cumberland County.  June 1st 2013 – 8:00 AM CDT. Meet at the paved Black Mountain Trail Head on top of the Mountain. This hike will be led by Ranger Ken Mathews. Please make arrangements to carpool back to your vehicles from the Hwy 68 Trailhead. This is a moderate hike of about 3.5 miles so bring water, snacks or other items you may need. It should take 3 to 4 hours depending on the speed of the group. We will stop near Windlass Cave for a break, from there we will continue on a section of newly built trail, courtesy of the Cumberland Trail Conference volunteers and staff. This new section of trail is across a private property easement, so hikers will need to stay on the trail while crossing this section of the Cumberland Trail.
