Hiking in the lush expanse of the Tennessee wilderness is one of the most popular ways to spend a day on the eastern side of the state, for the lower temperatures in the higher altitude. If you ever make your way out to Tellico Plains, then a hike along the Starr Mountain Trail just might be the perfect activity for an open Saturday. Learn all about it below!

Starr Mountain Trail is roughly 11.6 miles, and it meanders its way through beautiful Tellico Plains, Tennessee. It's known for its riverside walking opportunities and moderate difficulty level.

The trail itself is accessible year-round, and dogs are encouraged if kept on a leash. Keep in mind that though Starr Mountain Trail does operate as a loop, the 977-foot elevation gain does present a level of difficulty.
