Hi all,
I have a question for whomever takes the time to read this post. I grew up and spent 95% of my life to date in the Kentucky/Tennessee area. Two years ago, I stumbled upon this website, took up hiking/backpacking, and fell in love with both.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), I am moving back to Tennessee. I never really cared much (or even tried) for hiking the last time I lived in the South, but I fully plan on continuing my adventures back south. That being said, I was curious if anyone was aware of sites such as this that were specific for that region of the country. I've used this site for ideas since the day I took up hiking, and I likely wouldn't have ventured some of the places I did without it. I'm hoping to find something specific to the Southeastern United States that could serve a similar purpose.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the links. I'm with you....I haven't seen much from simple Google searches. Maybe something will pop up......

Thinking in terms of trail info, I would cross reference with other muti-use groups like Backcountry Horsemen & mountain bikers. Also just google the state/national forest or mtn range and wonderful things should pop up!

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but a friend of mine in the DC area just liked their Facebook page, so ...

Sadly, right now I'm a poseur. Sigh.

I lived in Ohio for decades, so I was always on the road, and spent a lot of time up and down I-75 doing some trips in Kentucky, more in Tennessee. I didn't find large forums like this, but I used many small Yahoo Groups sites for information, and there are quite a few, with hundreds to thousands of members, many specialize in certain areas like the Red River Gorge, Big South Fork, GSMNP, Shining Rock Wilderness etc...
