Great Eastern Trail brings long hike to Tennessee gorge
In Little Possum Gorge near Soddy-Daisy Tennessee volunteers lay a rocky path toward a 25 foot waterfall nicknamed Imodium by daring kayakers. The 40 mile stretch is a linchpin of the 1700 mile Great Eastern Trail linking trails from Florida to New York with plans for a 10000 mile network across the East. Jeffrey Hunter of the American Hiking Society says about 600 miles of new trail are to be built on public lands with land purchases or donations as needed. The trail would sit just west of the Appalachian Trail, once imagined by Benton MacKaye.
