It’s lesser-known than the trails that criss-cross the Great Smoky Mountains, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. This southern Tennessee hiking trail has to be seen to be believed. Great views, riverfront meanderings and a slight increase in elevation provide all the beauty and challenge you’re looking for in a hiking trail. Learn all about this Tennessee gem below.
Michael Hicks - Flickr Pot Point Loop in its entirety is an 11.2-mile loop trail that begins near the Scenic City of Tennessee, Chattanooga. The trail is rated moderate in difficulty.
Matthew Chenkus - AllTrails The dog-friendly trail is best used from the months of March to October, and Pot Point Loop operates as an add-on to the Cumberland Trail. It’s officially located in the Prentice Cooper Wildlife Management Area.
Bethany Conerly - AllTrails Although the trail is long, the loop is considered a low-key sampler of the ultra-challenging trek across the Cumberland Plateau. Natural outlooks and outcroppings are scattered across the trail.
Michael Hicks - Flickr The trail does gain a solid amount of elevation, but it remains fairly gradual. You can experience the trail as a day trip, an overnight backpacking trip, or maybe as you camp in the famed McNabb campsite.
Michael Hicks - Flickr Hikers that make it all the way out to Snoopers Rock Overlook are rewarded with a grand view. If you’d rather not hike, there is an option to drive to Snoopers Rock.
Bethany Conerly - AllTrails Whether you decide to gallivant the trail for hours or hike the simple half-mile to the Snoopers Rock Overlook, Pots Point Loop is well worth the experience.
