Description

This trail is used for a very popular out-and-back to Edward's Point as well as a connection to many other trails in the area.

CAMPING: If you would like to camp in Prentice Cooper SP, there are available spots at Davis Pond within the park. This will add 5 miles one-way (10 miles total) to the trip though, so plan accordingly.

It's first-come-first-serve, but there aren't designated campsites so you could just find some flat ground to setup a tent. GPS coordinates are: 35.08190, -85.42998 and there's no camping fee. Basic pit toilets, no water, and no electricity.
