Old Stone Fort Archaeological Park has New Trail for Mountain Biking

Thank you to Thunder1320.com for posting the following story:

Keith Wimberly, Park Manager for Old Stone Fort Archaeological Park, was the guest on “Connecting Coffee County” on Tuesday and shared some exciting news about a new trail in the Park.

Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park would like to announce the creation of a new 1.7 mile dual-use mountain bike and hiking trail located on Powers Bridge Road. It is aptly named the Powerline Trail and was built by Eagle Scout Brody Goodwin and his fellow scouts.

This new trail at OSFSAP is the only trail that allows bikes of any kind.

Look at all the trash we picked up in an hour! Winner goes to Jeff for finding a car transmission beaten by a close 2nd on a live Wakie Talkie!

The International Ride of Silence is held on the third Wednesday of May every year. The ride honors vulnerable road users who have been injured or killed by traffic violence while bicycling, raises awareness that bicyclists have a legal right to use the road, and reminds motorists to respectfully share the road with all users.

The 2023 Ride of Silence will occur on May 17th at 7 pm at Frazier McEwen Park in Tullahoma.
