Explore an Urban Wilderness Along the Wolf River Floodplain

JOHN F. KENNEDY PARK, one of Memphis' top five largest (100-plus acre) parks, is home to one of the city's best-kept secrets. Kennedy Park Trail is a short, yet scenic, 2½-mile out-and-back path through cypress and tupelo gum wetlands and bottomland hardwood forest along the Wolf River. Activities allowed along the trail include hiking, bird-watching, fishing, nature study, horseback riding and bicycle riding. **No hunting or shooting of firearms is allowed.** Be careful. The trail and boardwalk are in various degrees of repair. Do not venture into the forest unprepared. Comfortable walking shoes, water and a spirit of adventure are recommended. Enjoy your hike. And be mindful of the ecology of which you are a part.

THE WOLF RIVER CONSERVANCY is a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving and enhancing the Wolf River and its environs as a natural resource for public education and low-impact recreational activities. To learn more, visit our web site at www.wolfriver.org.
