This weekend four hikers met at the Soddy Ballfields parking area for a Cumberland Trails hike.
Our approximately 9 mile hike began at the Little Sody Trailhead of the Cumberland Trail. We hiked toward the northeast a couple of miles before turning to the west to reach Deep Creek and Big Soddy Creek area. We stopped at Deep Creek on our way to enjoy our catered lunch and some interesting talk. After lunch we headed for the Big Soddy Creek bridge (a bridge that several people in our club helped the Cumberland Trails Conference construct a few years ago).
After looking the bridge over we continued on toward the Soddy Daisy Trailhead at the mouth of Big Soddy Creek. We had left a car at this location.
It was a very enjoyable hike with beautiful scenery and weather. Elevation gain for the hike was abou 1000' and the hike is considered moderately strenuous.
