The Sherwood Day Loop Build

The acquisition of nearly 4,000 acres south of Sewanee immediately made the Lost Cove area a major unit of South Cumberland State Park.  One of Tennessee State Parks' first objectives was to get a trail built on the property, so the public could begin to enjoy its latest wild land holding in the South Cumberland region. The Sherwood Day Loop, a 2.4 mile trail with majestic views and interesting geological features, is now open!

Special thanks to the many amazing volunteers who have assisted Ranger Jason Reyonolds in the construction of the park's newest trail!
