This film is appropriate for all audiences (Rated G), so kids are welcome. Feel free to bring snacks & drinks. *Please meet at the park office.
Long Hunter's Greatest Hits: The Summer of 2010 - Saturday, September 4th at 4 PM
Join us as we combine several of Long Hunter's most popular summer events into one unique program. We'll take a look at a live snake (and her two new babies), discuss some edible plants (and perhaps have a sample!), play a few games (frisbee, jump rope, water balloon toss, etc.), make some slime, present a brief slideshow of summer wildflowers... and maybe have a few other surprises. This program is suitable for all ages. *Please meet at the park office.
Inland Trail + Glade Trail = End of Summer Hike! - Sunday, September 5th at 6 PM
Two beautiful - but very different - hiking trails. For our final program of the summer season, we'll take nature hikes on two of Long Hunter's most interesting footpaths: the Inland Trail and the Couchville Cedar Glade Trail. The one-mile Inland Trail features deep woods, sinkholes, migrating songbirds, unique plants, and perhaps a greater variety of hickory trees than anywhere else in the park. The one-mile Glade Trail takes us through one of Tennessee's most unique ecosystems, the Couchville Cedar Glade, which features two federally endangered wildflowers: the Tennessee Coneflower and the Leafy Prairie Clover. We'll start at the Inland Trail and then drive to the nearby Glade Trail. *Please meet at Area 4 parking lot.
