There are plenty of hiking trails in Tennessee, but not many follow a historic route through the state’s mountainous region. The Eureka Trail is a fairly remote rail trail in Tennessee that winds its way through the woods and keeps locals well-invested in the local beauty of the town of Athens. Fall in love with the beauty of the region and walk along a little bit of history as you traverse the beauty of a once-operational railway.
Have you ever hiked along the Eureka Rail Trail? Will you be cycling it sometime soon? There’s nothing better than a day out and about in Tennessee’s natural beauty, and the Eureka Rail Trail is a prime spot for the entire family.
