Persimmon Ridge Park — Attraction in Jonesborough

So I had a great time hiking here, it was a moderate to easy hike, they have some trails that are very hilly, and high up for more of a challenge, but I did see some mom's with strollers so I was very happy to see both sides of it. Only negative is I almost stepped on a copperhead snake, which are very, very venomous, so them being brown and tan i didn't see it until I literally almost stepped on it if it didn't move I would have, thank God it did cause I didn't plan to go on a hike so I just wore my sandals, bad choice I know, but it was my first time coming here and did not know copperheads are here, but I actually just moved to TN 3 days ago so I don't know if that's normal here, but just letting people know there are great trails here, easy to moderate, you can choose the difficulty, they have working, clean restrooms which I was very happy to see, but they do have venomous snakes here so please...
