Description
Hidden near the back of the Couchville/Area 2 parking lot, this unique trail is designed for families and combines the love of reading with outdoor exercise.
Each year the park chooses a children's story book, and the pages are enlarged and placed at intervals along the trail. The short trail also has a nice sampling of Long Hunter's well-known features: sinkholes, limestone glades and oak-hickory forest. Rare wildflowers found along the trail include Tennessee Coneflower, Long-styled Glade Cress, Nashville Breadroot, Glade Savory and Limestone Fameflower. Birds such as Summer Tanagers and Eastern Wood-Pewee are heard here.
