Join Middle TN OUTsiders in hiking the Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail, starting from Ashland City.  Contact them and us (Wresch) to let us know you are coming.


This is from their email:

Middle Tennessee OUTsiders is an all-inclusive group inviting gay, lesbian, bi, trans, queer, and straight folks to enjoy hiking, camping, wading, swimming, rafting and other outdoor activities together.

Our priority is to provide opportunities to explore and experience nature and the great outdoors via affordable activities with a down-to-earth, laid-back sensibility. We also promote and participate in these kinds of opportunities when they are organized by others.

We strive to create fun, safe, non-competitive, nature-focused recreational outings that appeal to participants who are diverse in terms of age, experience, and ability.


We’ll check out nearly 7 miles of highly scenic “rails to trails” along the Cumberland River less than a half hour from Nashville.  About half of the trail is wheelchair accessible, and if folks want to take advantage of this feature, please let us know and we’ll plan accordingly.

We'll gather at 10:30 AM in the Aldi parking lot at the corner of Gallatin Rd and Eastland Ave to carpool.

Pack a lunch and/or snacks, plenty of water, and comfortable, sturdy shoes or boots.  You may also want to bring rain gear, insect repellent, sunscreen, and a hat.

Our email is middletennesseeoutsiders@gmail.com.  Please let us know if you are coming and whether you’ll join us in Nashville or at the trail.  Let us know if you need a ride and we’ll try to hook you up.
