Fiery Gizzard Trail, Hiking trail in South Cumberland State Park, Tennessee
The Fiery Gizzard Trail extends through 12.5 miles of dense forests, steep gorges, and rock formations in the Cumberland Plateau region of Tennessee.
The trail system originated as a Native American footpath, later utilized by European settlers for accessing natural resources in the Cumberland Mountains during the 1800s.
The pathway serves as a natural classroom where educational programs teach visitors about local geology, native plants, and Tennessee mountain ecosystems throughout the year.
Hikers need to carry at least 2 liters of water, wear ankle-supporting boots, and allocate 6 to 8 hours for completing the challenging full-day trek.
The trail passes through a rare old-growth forest containing 400-year-old hemlocks and features numerous rock houses formed by geological processes millions of years ago.
