Yesterday I visited Ijams Nature Center, a 315-acre park along the Tennessee River in Knoxville. Originally a marble and limestone quarry in the early 1900’s, it’s been converted now to serve as an outdoor recreation area with Mead’s Quarry Lake and a network of hiking/biking trails. There’s also a stand for refreshments.







Enjoy your visit!

Yes, indeed 🙂
So wonderful to be near so many great places of nature to visit, Phil!
Your dappled-light railroad track is my fav 🙂
Glad you like it, Felipe – that shot turned out nicely. It’s certainly a fun place to visit 🙂
Wow, beautiful place there! Love it! 💓
Love Ijams! A hidden gem in a perfect (for me) sized city.
