Trails made for weekends
Some weekends call for slow wandering instead of long, tiring treks. Tennessee is full of parks with easy loops, gentle climbs, and picturesque spots to stop and take a breath. These trails make it easy to enjoy nature without pressure.
Spring and fall bring the best weather for relaxed hiking. The cooler air makes simple trails feel even more enjoyable. You can walk longer without feeling drained.

Fall Creek Falls features short paths that link overlooks, swinging bridges, and one of the tallest waterfalls in the East. You can explore a few trails in a single morning without rushing. It’s perfect for easy weekend exploring.
The best hiking weather hits in spring and fall when the gorge feels cool and breezy. Summer afternoons get humid fast, so mornings work better. Winter stays quiet, but it can still feel chilly.
