Coppinger Cove - Sequatchie TN
Distance form Murfreesboro - 2 hours
Terrain - wooded trails, rocks, creek crossings. We have done a quarter of these trails, based on our experience a stock Jeep can make it through most trails. There are a few areas where some branches could use being cut back, however we were advised that there is a local Jeep club that comes in every spring and cleans up the trails.
Cost - $0.00
Camping - there is no official camping, but we noticed several spots along the trails where there was evidence of campers / fire rings set up. No cost to camp here. Primitive camping.
