Participants will park at Laurel Dam (weather permitting) and shuttle back to start at Lower Dog Slaughter access trail. Winter forest conditions will give you a great view of the Cumberland River along most of the hike. Trail runs mostly along the hillside and river bottom and would be rated moderate in difficult with no serious climbs.

Registration is limited to a maximum of 10 and a minimum of 3

The STA is making it easy to get involved in backpacking with our 10-2-10 program. The first hike down along the Cumberland River features an overnight stay in one of the three shelters so you can lighten your load and leave the tent behind. The trail is along an area that most days is out of the wind but sees plenty of sunshine. Get yourself signed up today for the January 10-2-10 Hike.
