Reviews of Mountain Tea State Forest
"Great short hike, conveniently located to Nashville and Columbus. Although there are a few steeper hills, this hike would be suitable for families and kids of all ages. No toilets or any other amenities."
"A very narrow road takes you to a small parking area.The trail head is an old log road.Its not well maintained with limited foot traffic.Long pants a must.The trail goes through young forest along a ridge.While hiking came across quite a few hunters so orange should be worn didn't see any safe zones."
"There are lots of No Trespassing signs posted up and down Pumpkin Ridge Road that don't pertain to the park. I was a bit uneasy driving down there, but don't pay to much attention to those. Just respect the fact that there are properties and locals that are surrounding the park. Pumpkin Ridge Road is a single lane gravel road that has some very large dips and ruts. If you have a vehicle with low ground clearance that you don't want to bottom out don't attempt the drive down there. This is a nice park with lots of elevation changes. The trails are not labeled at all. If you are wanting to go down to the small lake area take the first right once you go past the gate. You'll go down a bit and then come to the cabin that will be on your right hand side. The path then curves to the left keep going down that path and you'll get to the lake. There were several large downed trees that you have to crawl and jump over to get down there. The first large tree I saw the first time I turned around and attempted to go to go the other way but that didn't work as the other "trail" doesn't go to anything but past a fire break and end up on a field that has more No Trespassing signs."
"While there are not a lot of developed trails here yet, I really loved it. There are a few miles of trails that are based on old property roads and logging trails but the footing is great. There are some hills if you’re not a fan of those. The good: stands of fresh pines, beautiful cabin, lovely lake, small waterfalls and dripping springs in the rocky creek bottom. I like the elevation changes and the hardwoods are nice. The bad: no signage or marked trails other than old roads. If you’re using Waze to get here, you may be sent to the wrong end of the entry road that cars cannot pass. You know when you come to a creek crossing that turns into a Jeep trail that’s guarded by angry dogs (seriously)."
"I think this park has a lot of potential. I look forward to real trails being put in. For now it's mostly old gravel roads that go to power lines or to a cool cabin. The road in to the parking lot is a bit treacherous. Really only wide enough for one car. Decent parking. Quiet and peaceful. I will definitely go explore another time."
