Day Hike in Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park

Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park is located about 13 miles north from downtown Memphis. It covers over 13,000 acres and borders the Mighty Mississippi River. There are over 20 miles of hiking trails throughout the park, as well as bike and horse trails, lakes, campgrounds, cabins, and a 36-hole disc golf course. It's a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life for a day.

Today, I went with a group to hike the Woodland Trail. It's only 3 1/2 miles long but has several steep hills and lots of beautiful scenery. It was a great hike.

As I look back over my pictures from the day, I realize there is so much greenery. I can't wait to get back out there when the leaves start changing in another month.
