Join us for TN Serves & National Public Lands Day
Help us celebrate by keeping Rocky Fork’s trails and creeks free of litter. Rocky Fork has the cleanest water of any tributary in the Nolichucky River Watershed, and with your help, we can keep it pristine!
We will meet at the campfire interpretive area for a short safety meeting and to sign waivers before heading out. From there, we’ll either follow the park road or hike the Rocky Fork Trail, picking up litter along the way.
What to Bring:
Gloves (we will have some available)
Water and snacks
Closed-toed shoes
Sun protection
Trash bags will be provided, but feel free to bring your own
We’ll be walking 1–3 miles on moderate terrain.
All participants will be required to sign a waiver.
Any person under the age of 18 must have a signed waiver by a parent or guardian.
Sorry, no pets.
