Most folks consider hiking trails to be isolated in general, but it’s not always true. Sure, you’re going to find crowds on Nashville greenways and along the Mississippi River in Memphis, but the Catoosa Wildlife Management Center boasts some of the most remote hiking trails in the state. Only the bravest wander the secluded Devil’s Breakfast Table Trail, and we have all the details below. If you’re looking for a way to get outside and spend time in the sweet quiet of Tennessee’s natural spaces, then we’ve found just the challenge for you.
One of the most popular, if isolated, hiking trails in the Obed Wild and Scenic River area is the hike from the Devil's Breakfast Table to Nemo Bridge.
The trail is recommended for experienced hikers only. If you're an advanced adventurer, then this long and loamy hiking trail is perfect for everything from rock climbing to camping and nature trips.
No dogs are allowed on the trail, but the lightly overgrown hiking trail is full of wildflowers come springtime, and it explodes with lush vegetation in the summer.
Make sure to keep an eye out for the gorgeous natural rock walls along the trail, too! You'll feel as if you've left the rowdy reality of daily life and stepped into a fantastical new world. Devil's Breakfast Table gets its name from a horizontal rock formation along the route.
A majority of the Obed River Section is found within the 82,000-acre Catoosa Wildlife Management Area. You'll find flowing creeks with Class III and IV rapid runs, and the Obed Wild and Scenic River has some of the best rafting in the state.
