Check out the newly constructed trail at Blythe Ferry on the Trail of Tears NHT! The trail begins at the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park and leads to the historic Blythe Ferry landing site. This was the last time many of the Cherokee would be in their native lands as they were forced west. Once the Cherokee crossed the river they were no longer on their native land.

The trail is approx. 1/4 mile long and of natural surface. Thank you to our partners for making this happen!

This project is being funded through NPS Connect Trails to Parks funding.
