This is a joint outing for TCWP and TNPS at an amazing spot for early spring ephemerals. It’s covered in trout lilies, with pockets of twinleaf, foamflower, wood poppies, and spring beauties. If we hit the timing right, the Dutchman’s breeches might be blooming.We’ll meet at 10 a.m. EST at the trailhead, located near the end of N. Walker Lane in Oak Ridge. (This access to the North Ridge Trail is not in Google Maps; coordinates are 36°01'24.7"N 84°16'36.1"W). There is no parking at the Trailhead, but there is some street parking along N. Walker and West Outer Dr. There is also ample parking at the nearby Children’s Museum of Oak Ridge. The outing will last around two hours.
The trail is only about .7 miles one way, but it is steep in spots. It also can be muddy, and there is a stream crossing.
Bring water, snacks, and bug spray.
If you have questions, contacts/leaders are Margaret Cumberland and Larry Pounds. Phone/email: 919-339-0072, [email protected]
