Knoxville, TN

Hiking Trails: Black Mountain Loop

Near: Crossville, TN

Part of the Cumberland Trail, but accessible on its own. This trail is at the end of a narrow, winding road up the mountain; it circles two towers at the top of the ridge, so there’s not too much up-and-down on the hike itself.

There are two overlooks, along the north and south sides of the loop. There’s also an old spring house near the parking lot.
