Geocache Description:

WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL HARDWOODS SCENIC TRAIL.  Your hike will take you to Meredith Cemetery just north and uphill from the Central Hardwoods Scenic Trail.  You will seek an information sign that will lead you to a pre-formed bottle with a log sheet and pencil.


This is the eastern extension of Land Between the Lakes' Central Hardwoods Scenic Trail. This portion of the trail is compacted gravel which makes a smooth walking/biking path. Because the path also follows the contours of the terrain, its not as easy as the paved portion. But its not as hard as the other dirt trails throughout LBL.

The Central Hardwoods Scenic Trail spans the entire width of Land Between The Lakes (LBL) connecting Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. This is a multiple-use trail with smooth surfaces, gentle grades, and trailside rest areas. The paved eastern portion of the trail offers shoreline views of Lake Barkley as well as wildlife viewing opportunities in adjacent open areas. The central and western portions are made of compacted stone surface. Here you will explore rolling hills and ridge tops of a central hardwood forest ecosystem. Seven access points give visitors multiple opportunities to bike and hike sections of the Central Hardwoods Scenic Trail.

Meredith Cemetery Hike

The closest parking is at Meredith Trailhead, named for nearby Meredith Cemetery. The Meredith family used a jenny (female donkey) instead of horses. They used them to plow, ride, and hitch them to wagons or buggies. Walk the trailwest for 0.42 miles to the Turn waypoint, then head uphill for 210 feet. Where you will find an information sign with information to help you find the location of the container.
