On Sunday, my husband and I did some hiking in Cumberland State Forest. We were looking to do an 8 mile loop along the Cumberland Multiuse Trail that we found on AllTrails, but we had to pivot due to a lack of parking in that area. Instead, we did a different section of that trailContinue reading “Cumberland State Forest”

Bright Hope & Otter Lick Loop Trail
I recently hiked the Bright Hope and Otter Lick Loop trail in Pocahontas State Park. My husband and I hiked just over seven miles that day in two hours and twenty minutes.

I”

There are two separate parking lots that serve this area. Should the need arise, there are several bathroom facilities alongContinue reading “High Bridge Trail State Park”
