Start 2025 with a Ranger led hike on the Sugar Hill Loop at Clinch River State Park! The hike will be a two-mile round trip easy hike and will cover the importance of snow and colder weather to our environment, and how it affects animals and bugs. Please dress for the weather and bring snacks and water. For more information, please contact the park office at 276-762-5076, or email us at [email protected].
