Overlooking “The Narrows” of the Tennessee
The 2.7-mile Lady’s Bluff Loop Trail, a designated National Recreational Trail, leads visitors to the the top of a majestic limestone bluff offering far-reaching views across the Tennessee River. The moderately strenuous trail climbs through a mixed hardwood forest with intermittent outcroppings of limestone rock. The trail wends through varied ecosystems, including the Lick Creek embayment, limestone glades and outcroppings, natural sinks and intermittent spring-fed watercourses. Many of the native trees are marked by small signs giving some facts about the species. Atop the bluff, one can stand among gnarled old cedars and look up and down the river for miles in either direction and the Busselltown unit of the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge on the opposite bank. In mid-October, this whole area becomes a landing strip for thousands of migrating ducks and geese making their annual visit to the refuge. The Tennessee River below Lady’s Bluff passes through “The Narrows,” the most constricted part of the Lower Tennessee. Two barges cannot pass through here as they can on other stretches of the river Access is by foot traffic only; no bicycles, horses or ATVs are allowed. Exercise caution near cliffs; rappelling is prohibited. No overnight camping.
