Point Trail Outing at Obed Wild & Scenic River

This is another joint outing for TCWP and TNPS. The trail runs along the top of bluffs that lead to the confluence of the Obed River and Clear Creek. There are a lot of fun wildflowers out on the bluffs, as well as beautiful views of the river.

We will meet for carpooling in Oak Ridge at the Gold’s Gym/Books-A-Million parking lot (at the end close to S. Illinois Avenue, near Salsarita’s) in time to leave at 8:45 a.m. Eastern, or you can meet the group in the parking lot at the trailhead for Lilly Bluff Overlook and The Point (920 Ridge Rd, Lancing, TN 37770) at 10 a.m. Eastern, 9 a.m. Central. The trail (3.8 miles round trip) is moderate, with some strenuous spots. Bring water, a lunch, and bug spray.
