 As the late Winter 2023 winds and rains come thru the area Mother Nature is starting to show her Spring wardrobe.  Wildflowers and Trees are budding and blooming.  Come and enjoy the plants and trees that are a microcosm of what you would see in and along the trails of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.  If you have can't hike the trails in the Smokies this is a perfect easy stroll to enjoy the Spring blooms.  Plenty of free parking at the Campground United Methodist Church, see our map for directions.
