Nemo at Night:  Ranger-led Night Hike on July 8

Get out and explore YOUR Obed Wild and Scenic River at night!  Join our ranger for a ranger-led night hike on July 8th at 9:30 p.m. ET.  The hike will be a moderate 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.

Please bring a headlamp or flashlight, and wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear.
