Where To Roam- 5 Hikes to Take on National Trails Day in the 9 Lakes of East Tennessee

Sometimes called pathways, warpaths, and/ or traces, these trails served as trade and hunting routes for Native Americans, and later as pioneer paths for western settlements. Thanks to the efforts of public and private agencies such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, National Wilderness Act of 1964, state parks, and the National Park Service, miles of historic trails have been preserved for conservation and public recreation.
