Take a group hike at Fall Creek Falls State Park on Saturday as part of Earth Day activities.Many of Tennessee’s state parks will offer free, guided hikes this weekend to celebrate Earth Day, officially slated for Monday, April 22.
These are the second in a series of statewide hiking events of 2013, following First Hikes held in early January. Tennessee state parks will hold additional hiking events for National Trails Day on June 1 and National Public Lands Day on Sept. 28.
In addition to hikes, two parks are seeking volunteers to help keep the grounds pristine.
Participants should wear sturdy shoes and bring water and perhaps a snack for longer outings.
