Edwards Point is a short, easy out-and-back hike in Tennessee, about 0.7 miles from the small community of Edwards Point itself. The route covers roughly 4 miles, rising about 188 feet from a low point of 1,682 feet to a high of 1,872 feet. The climb is gentle overall, with the steepest stretch at about 0.13 miles in, where the grade reaches 13 percent. That slope is brief, and the rest of the trail stays low and manageable. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 67°F with lows near 51°F, and April runs about 68°F by day and 47°F at night. Several other trails start within a mile, including the Prentice Cooper Yellow Trail and the Orange Trail. Climbers will find the Middle Creek area about 0.9 miles away and Upper Passes about 1.2 miles off.
