Edgar Evins State Park
For the hiker, a scenic two-mile trail, beginning at the
park visitor center, meanders around the edge of the lake. Also, a
half-mile trail is located to the left just before reaching the cabin
complex and a trail that begins in the campground near site #60 and ends
at Edgar Evins Marina. The length of this trail is approximately 2 miles.
There is also a short trail leading to the Dunham Cemetery
site. The trail is located on the main park road between the maintenance
area and the campground. It is approximately 0.25 mile long and slopes up
a steep grade.

The 4.0 mile Jack L. Clayborn Millennium Trail, constructed by the
Tennessee Trails Association, was dedicated at the park's 25th Anniversary

The TTA completed work in June 2001 on another section of trail that
adds an additional 8 miles to the hiking trails at the park.
