== Trail Overview ==

Nice hike nearby for those in Kingsport. Good views of the Lake from the top of the ridge.
== How to get there ==

Take Fort Henry to Hemlock Rd. Make the hard left to follow the road on to Fall Creek Rd, go across the bridge. Park at the first pull of on the right at the golf cart crossing. The trail begins on the back corner of the Tee-Box heading up the hill.
== Route Description==

The total almost 300ft elevation gain happens in the first half mile of the trail as you head straight up the hill. There are two overlooks as you go. One at a tee box on the golf course, a good turn around point for families and those not interested in the rest of the climb. There is also an overlook at the high point on the ridge. After the ascent the trail drops back to lake level and is steeper than the initial ascent, something to remember for a return trip. The trail then follows Fall Creek into old pasture lands past several old home sites on a loop through gentler hills.

== Typical Conditions ==

The trails are fairly well maintained.
==Fees, Permits, etc. ==

None needed, just park and go.
