Six TVA trails getting a facelift on National Trails Day
KNOXVILLE -- Six trails located in Tennessee and Alabama will be getting a facelift by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) on Saturday, June 1. That is National Trails Day, and volunteers are encouraged to participate.
One of the projects includes the 1.5-mile Buck Island Trail on Guntersville Reservoir in Alabama. The trail was partially destroyed by a tornado in spring 2011. The trail will be rerouted and improved with new signage and a litter cleanup.
A Boy Scout troop will help TVA staff install a new kiosk at the scenic Watauga Overlook Trail at Watauga Reservoir near Elizabethton, TN. The kiosk will direct visitors with a large, color map at the trailhead near the Visitor Center.
