Dear Member,

Please join the UTHSC Outdoor Recreation Department for a hike in Shelby Forest, Saturday, October 28th at 10am.

Only 40 minutes from Memphis, Meeman-Shelby Forest offers more than 20 miles of trails that wind throughout the park. It is a beautiful resource that provides a wilderness environment you can pack into a day-hike!

Our hike will be on the Woodland Trail loop for approximately 3 miles of rigorous, hilly terrain! We will meet at Shelby Forest 9:45am on Saturday the 28th, and we should be off of the trail by 12pm.

Hiking can be a rigorous activity!! This is a short hike. The skill level is intermediate - advanced, targeted for well-conditioned adults who are comfortable hiking steep inclines for 3-5 miles. Please contact us if you wonder if this hike is right for you.

UTHSC does not provide transportation to or from Shelby Forest.

If you need a pack, you can rent a daypack from the UT Outdoor Rec rental shop! Rental is free for students. This will be a great practice hike for those who are planning longer hikes in the future.

There is no fee to hike. No minors and no dogs, please!
