We will visit the River Bluff Small Wild Area on the TVA Norris Dam property.
The wildflower trail is a 3.4 mile moderate walk that is known for a spectacular array of spring wildflowers including yellow trout lilies, Celandine poppies, bloodroot, spring beauties and toothwort.
To reach the TVA River Bluff Small Wild Area, take the Lake City exit 128 off I-75 north of Knoxville. Follow U.S. Hwy. 441 past the Norris Dam State Park entrance on the left and continue approximately 3/4 mile to Dabney Road on the right. Turn onto Dabney Road, bear to the left and the Small Wild Area trailhead parking area is located approximately 3/4 mile from U.S. 441.
Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing for the weather.
We will leave the church parking lot at 10 AM.
For those that prefer not to picnic, Clinch River Brewing Company is just below the dam with craft beer and food. Opens at noon.
Mailbox Bows to Celebrate Dogwood Trail
Our Lakemoor Hills Dogwood Trail will officially open on April 1!
To join Dogwood Arts in celebrating the art, culture and natural beauty of our region, all homeowners along the trail are invited to pick up a pink and green bow to place on your mailbox.
Bows can be picked up on March 20, 9am-12pm (Neighborhood Clean-up Day) at both the church parking lot and Lakemoor Legacy Park and Garden on Circle Lake.
A donation to cover the cost of the bows would be cheerfully accepted but is not required. You’ll find donation boxes at each bow pickup location.
After March 20, bows will be available at Suzan Bowman and Mike Parker’s home ~ 3717 Maloney Rd. They will be displayed on a fence by their driveway through March 30th or until all bows are gone.
Be sure to check out all the trails around Knox County here: https://www.dogwoodarts.com
A BIG THANK YOU to the many garden club members who helped make the pink and green bows to top mailboxes along our neighborhood Dogwood Trail!
