Day Trips from Nashville
South Cumberland Recreation Area

About an hour and a half east on I-24, exit east at Monteagle (US 41A/64), and you'll find 12,000 acres of hiking that feature caves, waterfalls, deep valleys, and scenic overlooks. The area features some of Tennessee's most rugged trails. Visit the park's visitor center on US41A/64 between Monteagle and Tracy City.

Nashville's country music fans will recognize Grundy county as the location put on the map my John Linda Montgomery's hit song.

One of the more popular trails is Fiery Gizzard Trial. It features round trips from two to eighteen miles.

The trail features waterfalls and great views.
