This set of parks is difficult to reach from the Nashville area - Chatanooga would have been easier. This is not one large park, but several park areas that are far (miles) apart. The trails are ni…Full review by familytripper1

Q:
I intend to do a backpacking trip here as it has been an area on my list for years. Wondering how that would go with weather for the area in Mid-March? I am from Wisconsin so cold isn't an issue, I am worried about snow or rain that month causing problems. I have gear for it, but the people tagging along have only done a few trips and nothing in snow.

We were there last year in mid-March. At that time, the highs were in the upper 40's low 50's. Nights in the upper 30's. We started the day with toboggans, gloves, layers, etc then …

We were there last year in mid-March. At that time, the highs were in the upper 40's low 50's. Nights in the upper 30's. We started the day with toboggans, gloves, layers, etc then stripped as the hikes went on. Of course for you, those temps might seem balmy!!! We didn't have rain but rain is hard to predict. I hope you get rain the week before so the waterfalls are pretty. (I do remember a trip there in April a few years ago. It rained every night but nothing during the day.) A March snow would probably be unusual. I hope you have a wonderful time. It is a beautiful place. Be sure to check in with the park rangers. There is a main office on the main road through Monteagle (sorry, I can't remember the hwy #) and there are small offices at most trailheads. I'll be glad to answer any other questions you have.
