Oneida, Tennessee: Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area recently repaired 16 miles of the Cumberland Valley Loop Horseback Riding Trail, located in the heart of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area trail system.

The project reestablished the heavily eroded trail tread, spread aggregate, repaired water control devices and trail directional signage, and removed fallen trees from the established route.

The Cumberland Valley Loop Trail serves as an important link for horseback riders and hikers to access hundreds of miles of the overall trail network. This trail accesses Bandy Creek Campground (the park’s primary visitor center), and a camp store and horse stable concession. Over 200 miles of trail are connected via Cumberland Valley Loop, leading visitors to the developed campground, picnic areas, recreational areas, and river access from nearly 15 separate trailheads.

For more information, please contact Big South Fork NRRA at 423-569-9778.
