Explore the Cumberland Trail

The Cumberland Trail stretches roughly 300 miles across Tennessee and is still under construction. There are still many gaps along the route, and some sections have limited access.

Many sections can be hiked point-to-point, but others do not have trailheads at both ends and are best enjoyed as out-and-back hikes. Plan ahead and be prepared for changing conditions. For the most up-to-date information on trail conditions and access, the Cumberland Trail State Park is the best resource.

Use the filters to explore sections by county, difficulty, or features and find the hike that’s right for you.

This guide is created and maintained by volunteers and is always evolving. If you notice updates or have information to share, please let us know.
