Tennessee hiking trails - River Bluff Trail, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, Anderson County LOCATION Latitude: 36.21361 Longitude: -84.08389 User input for River Bluff Trail, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, Anderson County, Tennessee: Tuesday, March 31, 2009. River Bluff Trail, Norris Dam State Park, TN. People who've hiked the trail along the Clinch River just downstream of Norris Dam could tell you about how good this place is for spring wildflowers. 3. 2 miles of trail with a nice blend of flat easy walking along the river coupled with a bit of climbing and a ridgeline hike back to the car makes for a good workout--but one you'll hardly notice due to the grand views of flowers and scenery. Don't give up when you first start this trail because you'll see only a few flowers along the first 1/2 mile. Beyond that, you'll think you've entered some kind of wildflower garden. Honest--the displays are that good.
