State parks throughout Tennessee will offer free, guided hikes starting later this week. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation said all 56 state parks will host free hikes on March 24 “to highlight the amenities and programming available during one of Tennessee’s most beautiful seasons.” Park rangers will lead hikes throughout the day, that will range from short, family-friendly walks to all-day hikes through remote stretches of a park.
