Confirmed from Trail of Tears' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Good for kids, this locale provides hiking and sightseeing opportunities.

“Beautiful family friendly place to visit.”
Wonderful walking trail. I suggest reading about the trail of tears before walking it...makes it more meaningful
Well maintained historic trail at David Crockett State park. Beautiful vistas along an easy trail.

A great trail. Frequently hike here. I can really feel the history when you're walking the old trail versus the part they marked because the old trail couldn't be followed.
