Lady's Bluff Trail

Featured in Robert Brandt's classic "Middle Tennessee On Foot", this trail (generally referred to as 'Ladyfinger Bluff') is a bona fide Tennessee classic. From the trailhead, the path meanders west along the embayment for Lick Creek, twists and turns through two subsequent steep and rocky hollows before finally climbing a final slope to emerge at the bluff. The view from here is breathtaking: across the Tennessee River to the west is the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge...a pair of binoculars is definitely recommended here, as is--of course--a camera. If you're really lucky, you'll have a float of barges pass in review below you! It's the perfect place for a picnic, and your nature-made benches and tables might well contain fossils.
