In the heart of Jackson TN, Escape the ordinary and embrace the adventure—Find Your Wild.
In today's fast-paced, screen-driven world, students have fewer opportunities to connect with nature, build community, and engage in environmental stewardship.
Our mission is to connect Union University students with nature through walking trails, fishing, wildlife sightseeing, hiking, paddleboarding, and biking. Just 8 minutes from campus, we foster adventure, community, and a love for the outdoors. Find Your Wild!

“This is more than just an outdoor club—it’s the start of something beautiful. I want it to be a space where Union students step away from the stress of school, reconnect with nature, and discover something new about themselves. Through Middle Fork Bottoms, I hope this club builds a community that embraces adventure, fosters friendships, and reminds us all to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us."
— Bailey Hughes, Student and Founder of Find Your Wild—
