Long Hunter State Park Hike

We took the boys hiking a couple of weekends ago at Long Hunter State Park since we had a warm day for February and late basketball practices.  Long Hunter is a small park along the eastern shores of Percy Priest Lake in Nashville.  We did the Day Loop Trail which we also did the the big boys back in 2011.

Gray is starting to get a little big for the backpack but it beats carrying him on my hip or shoulders when he gets tired.  He was trying to walk around at the trailhead while it the pack :)

Gray did use the pack but he also ended up hiking quite a bit.

We took a side trail to get a better look at the lake early on and decided to stay off the trail and on the rocks for about a mile.  The lake is low for the winter so it was fun to explore this area that is normally under water.

 

After returning to the trail and hiking for a bit, we came to the bluff section.  There are some great views and fun ledges to hang out on my here.

Hopefully we get some more warm days when we don't have spring sports that take over our weekends to get in a few more hikes!
