Uncover Hiking Trails And Adventure!

Twenty-five minutes North-East from Liberty Oak Oasis.  Bee Rock, which looks strikingly similar to a beehive, is accessible via a relatively easy 0.7-mile out-and-back trail.

An easy twenty-five min drive South-East from Liberty Oak Oasis will get you to a six mile trail loop that is a scenic and wild trail that leads through multiple old homesteads that have been preserved in this state park.  

Twenty-five minutes North-West of Liberty Oak Oasis is The Window Cliffs Trail. The trail traverses through the Cane Creek Gorge to reach some of the most unique rock formations in Tennessee. The trail that ventures out to the window cliffs and back is just over 2.5 miles long and has varied terrain. The final vertical 25 feet of this ridgeline is bare limestone with patches of vegetation growing here and there out of cracks and fissures. This limestone ridge is where the Window Cliffs are found. These large “windows” are cut through the ridge, presumably eroded by past wind and water. Their truly unique beauty does not dawn on a hiker until they reach the culmination of the trail where they are allowed to summit the windows and enjoy the 360-degree view from the top. The trail is 5.5 miles roundtrip from the parking area to Window Cliffs.  Allow two and half to 3 hours to complete the hike.  A roundtrip requires 18 creek crossings which can be challenging or impassable during high water as there are no bridges but only cables and rock crossings.  You will get wet when hiking this trail. Hiking boots are recommended for hiking the trail, having an extra pair of water shoes or tennis shoes is suggested for stream crossings.  The trail is considered difficult to strenuous.

Not far from the Dog Cove Historic Area it's possible to combine both of these areas in one day. But driving direct from Liberty Oak Oasis it is a 40 minute drive. 

4.2-mile out-and-back trail near Sparta, Tennessee. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 43 min to complete. Creeks and small waterfalls along the way to the point that over looks the gorge.

About forty miles east of Liberty Oak Oasis is The Pioneer Trail at Cumberland Mountain State Park. It is a 4.7 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located in Cumberland Mountain State that features a lake, small waterfalls and a creek. It is good for all skill levels. The trail is kid-friendly and primarily used for hiking, walking and running. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. 

An all day adventure and a strenuous hike but the payoff is one of the most majestic settings in all of the Upper Cumberland. It is a short thirty minute drive south of Liberty Oak Oasis.
