Rangers at all 56 state parks in Tennessee are offering free ranger-guided hikes later this month.

A Tennessee State Parks news release announced the free hikes are scheduled for Saturday, March 23.

The hikes will range from easy to adventurous. Hikers are urged to prepare for the weather, have sturdy footwear, and bring water and snacks. A hiking stick might also be a good idea.

Interested hikers can refer to the Tennessee State Parks website for further information.
