The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has issued a cautionary notice to the public regarding the presence of fallen trees along horse trails in the Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area. Recent storms have caused significant damage, resulting in obstructed pathways for trail users. While some downed trees may still allow for passage, others have been identified as completely impassable.
Numerous trails within the area have been affected, with a considerable number of trees blocking the way. As a safety measure, these trails have been temporarily closed until the debris is cleared. Individuals planning to visit the area are advised to check the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Facebook page for a detailed map highlighting the impacted trails.
The agency urges all trail users to exercise caution and be aware of the potential hazards posed by the fallen trees. By staying informed and following safety guidelines, visitors can help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience while exploring the Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area.
