Trail Conditions
Trail was easy to follow but I recommend using All Trails or another offline-enabled app to turn on the right trails at junctions.
We hiked a loop on the Fort Henry Trail System in Tennessee a few weekends ago.


It was around 6 miles. It was mainly just a walk in the woods. There were no major things to see but it was a fun loop to hike. One could also mountain bike it I do believe, and it's also used in a trail running races, as well.

Our only negative thing was seeing about 4 or 5 wild pigs running and then seeing all their damage along the trail.
