Get outdoors on Black Friday with over 77.6 miles of hiking trails in south-central Tennessee State Parks to enjoy on the "Day After Thanksgiving Hikes."
Black Friday does not have to be loud or tiring. Tennessee State Parks hosts free ranger-led hikes the day after Thanksgiving. These walks give you a calm way to spend time with family and friends. You learn about the land. You meet people. You get a break from the holiday rush. Most hikes are gentle. Some take you a little farther into the woods. All of them help you slow down.
