National Trails Day on Lookout Mountains Scenic Bluff Trail

Land trust partnerships have been instrumental in connecting critical wildlife corridors across the Cumberland Plateau. By linking protected areas, we help ensure that species like the cerulean warbler, Indiana bat, and Cumberland rosemary maintain viable populations for generations to come.

Recent additions to the state park system in the Cumberland region have expanded public access to some truly spectacular natural areas. New trail segments connect existing path networks, creating longer loop options for day hikers and backpackers alike. The views from the newly opened overlooks along the plateau rim are among the finest in Tennessee.
