Tennessee is one of the most beautiful states in the nation, and it lends itself to outdoor activities and fun in the warm weather sun. Hiking in the lush expanse of the Tennessee wilderness is one of the most popular ways to spend a day on the eastern side of the state, for the lower temperatures in the higher altitude. If you ever make your way out to Tellico Plains, then a hike along the Starr Mountain Trail just might be the perfect activity for an open Saturday. Learn all about it below!
Jane Wiaceck - AllTrails Starr Mountain Trail is roughly 11.6 miles, and it meanders its way through beautiful Tellico Plains, Tennessee. It’s known for its riverside walking opportunities and moderate difficulty level.
Andrew Schmidt - AllTrails The trail itself is accessible year-round, and dogs are encouraged if kept on a leash. Keep in mind that though Starr Mountain Trail does operate as a loop, the 977-foot elevation gain does present a level of difficulty.
Arctic Overland - AllTrails Locals rave about the views but warn against the overgrown nature of the trail. This isn’t an easy, paved experience in a city park. If you’re headed to Starr Mountain Trail, you’re committed to using a map and trekking your way through the countryside. Don’t come afraid to get dirty!
Arctic Overland - AllTrails Make sure that you keep an eye on the trail markers and stay on the main hiking thoroughfare. The mountains are massive and lush and come springtime the Starr Mountain Trail tends to be a bit washed out after the winter and early spring rains.
