Description
Nemo at Night - Ranger-led Night Hike
Get out and explore YOUR Obed Wild and Scenic River at night! Join our ranger for a ranger-led night hike on June 16th at 9 p.m. (ET) for a moderate hike of 2-miles total on the Emory River Gorge section of the Cumberland Trail to enjoy the nightscape of Nemo at night. The trail begins at the historic Nemo Bridge - the location of spectacular night sky photographs of the bridge set against a celestial backdrop of stars. The trail culminates at a sweeping overlook above the confluence of the Obed and Emory Rivers where hikers can enjoy the sounds of the rivers below as well as a spectacular array of stars above.
Participants should meet at the Nemo Picnic Area at 9:00 p.m. (ET) on June 16th. The picnic area is located on Catoosa Road just prior to crossing Nemo Bridge in Morgan County, Tennessee.
