Lower Sycamore Creek Dayhike
Saturday, August 1, 2009

Brief Description:   The hike is 2 miles in and 2 miles out along the beautiful Sycamore Creek on an old logging road/railroad bed.  The trail is relatively level and tends to have a couple of wet spots.  Hiking sticks are recommended if there has been recent rain causing slippery roots and slippery rocks.  Bring plenty of water and trail food.  We will have a late lunch at the Tellico Bakery. This is a joint hike with the Hiwassee Hiking Club.

        Leader:  Jane Bohannon, 745-9534 (h), 381-8388 (c)   

        Length: 4 miles

        Difficulty: Easy, minimal elevation gain

Directions to the Trailhead: Meet at Hardy’s on Hwy 68 in Tellico Plains at 9:00 AM or near the trail head at 9:45 AM in the Pheasant Field picnic area parking lot on Tellico River Road next to the fish hatchery.  The trail starts right beside the bridge over the river to the fish hatchery.  There is a bathroom at the parking lot.
