Trails |

There are several hiking trails at Long Hunter designed to provide pleasant walking experiences for all. Among the more popular is the Lake Trail around Couchville Lake. The Lake Trail is hard surfaced and barrier free and is a self-guided nature trail. The Nature Loop Trail and Inland Trail located at Couchville, are popular short walks. The mile-long Deer Trail begins at the park office and meanders through old field and young forest habitats. The longer Bryant Grove Trail connects Bryant Grove to Couchville.
For the more adventurous, the Bakers Grove Primitive Use Area offers longer day hikes on the Day Loop Trail, and day hiking and overnight camping on the Volunteer Trail. These trails wind along the shore of J. Percy Priest Lake, climb overlook bluffs, and wander through hardwood forest, cedar glades, and interesting rock outcroppings. |
