We found another awesome place, within an hour from Knoxville, to go hiking and enjoy the local town. We hiked the South and North Old Mac trails and went up the Lookout Tower. There is a wonderful Welcome Center and gift shop as soon as you arrive at the base. This was a vigorous 8 mile +loop but we made it! Frozen Head state park, in Wartburg, is in the beautiful Cumberland mountains of East Tennessee. It is only about 20 minutes from Brushy Mountain State Prison that can be toured. “In 1894, the state acquired a large area in Morgan Country for the Brushy Mountain State Prison. Coal was deep mined by convict labor and the trees were harvested to supply timbers for the mines. The land was transferred to State Parks in 1970.” We also found a local farmers stand and came home with lots of fruits and vegetables. #frozenhead #knoxvillerealtors #hikingtrails #susong7 #wartburgtn #knoxvilleagents
