Pickett State Park Weekend Getaway
Details
When
Friday, September 12 to Sunday, September 14
Situated in a remote section of the upper Cumberland Mountains, the 17,372-acre Pickett State Park and Forest possess a combination of scenic, botanical and geological wonders found nowhere else in Tennessee. Of particular interest are the uncommon rock formations, natural bridges, numerous caves and remains of ancient Indian occupation. Some say Pickett is second only to the Great Smoky Mountains in botanical diversity. The park is adjacent to the massive Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, with more than 100,000 acres of prime wilderness country.
Team Green will stay at the group camp. The group camp consists of camper cabins, bathhouse, kitchen and dining lodge. Campers need only provide linens or sleeping bag and pillow, medical and sanitary supplies and staff. The camp will accommodate up to 144 persons but we will limit our trip to 50.
Activities
For activities, we will have two options for day hikes Saturday: a longer 9 miler and a shorter 4 miler.
Another great option for Saturday: Head on down to Mucklenwain, a southern rock festival in Harriman, Tn bringing close to 15,000 people. Team Green is a sponsor and will have a booth at this music event – it us just 30 minutes from Pickett. Join Laurel as she takes a group to the festival Saturday and get a discounted rate on tickets.
Sunday you can choose between mountain biking or heading down to Burgess Falls.
Please note that all participants are asked to chip in to cook and clean as part of traveling with us. We will share cooking for 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner (Friday dinner is on your own). Plus we will take time after breakfast Sunday to clean to cabins, as it is required per us staying there.
