KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — Tennessee State Parks plans to host free hikes guided by park staff on March 21, the second day of spring.
The Spring Hikes range in difficulty from moderate to strenuous; some hikes are short, while others last all day. The guides plan to show the natural, cultural and historical features of the parks, THP said.
