Join park rangers for a hike along the Cedar Hill Greenway in Oak Ridge on Saturday, Aug. 27 at 10 a.m. The hike will begin at Cedar Hill Park, former location of Cedar Hill Elementary School.

Along the hike, rangers will discuss the early school system of Oak Ridge, early shopping centers, and housing in the Clinton Engineer Works. This 2.5-mile hike is considered moderately difficult, and some parts of the trail can wash out after a strong storm. Visitors are encouraged to wear appropriate footwear, sunscreen, and bring drinking water, according to a news release.
