G7 - New River

Trail Overview

Per the park's naming guidelines, trails that start with a "G" are primarily gravel. This heavily traveled path has very little gravel and now is mostly washed out rock and dirt. This trail is known to have a few of the local elk herd cross the trail in front of drivers to their grazing grounds. Tread lightly to not disturb them or the local trails that connect to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). These trails can be marked with a sign stating that you are leaving Wind Rock Park or entering TWRA. TWRA does require a permit and can be obtained online before crossing into any TWRA territory (High Impact Habitat Conservation Permits).
