Henry Horton State Park is excited to announce we have begun construction on the park’s first multiuse trail system. Our plan is to add roughly 10 miles of a quality single track trail located on the South end of the park. Our staff along with volunteers have completed 4 miles of this trail system. Starting this Fall, we will begin construction on the next 3 miles of trail. this work will consist of general trail clearing, bridge construction, and other aspects of constructing a multiuse trail.
So that we can complete this project faster we will be hosting regular Volunteer trail workdays throughout the year. If you enjoy being outside in the beautiful outdoors while working hard and getting dirty, then these trail workdays are right up your alley. Volunteers will meet at Henry Horton State maintenance yard on Warner rd. at 9:00am. Volunteers should be prepared to spend roughly 3 hours in the woods utilizing hand tools to clear brush and dig trail. Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Closed toed shoes are required. Water will be available, but we ask that you bring a reusable water bottle to cut down on waste. If you have any questions, please contact Ranger Jesse Jewell at jesse.jewell@tn.gov or (931) 494-6660 or the park office at (931) 364-7724. We look forward to seeing you on the trail.
