This is a joint outing for TCWP and the Tennessee Native Plant Society. We will walk about .5 mile on a rough road to the Obed. If the water is low enough, and if hikers want to, we will wade the Obed to visit a scour prairie. On the way back, we’ll hike off-trail along Ramsey Creek. Hikers may skip this and return along the rough road if they prefer. We will have bird and plant interpretation.

We’ll meet at 10 a.m. Eastern at the Wartburg Visitor Center, 3804 Morgan County Hwy (US 27), in Wartburg; or meet for carpooling in Oak Ridge at the Gold’s Gym/Books-A-Million parking lot (meet at the end close to S. Illinois Avenue, near Salsarita’s) in time to leave by 9:15 a.m. Eastern. This will be an easy hike if you skip the wade and the off-trail hike; distance about 1 mile.

Bring water, a lunch, and bug spray.
