A 3.3 mile loop hike can be created by joining the A.T., blue blaze, and road walk. Park at the A.T. lot. Head southbound on the A.T. uphill following the white blazes through older farm pasture, and into the forest. A couple of rock outcroppings provide views of the nearby mountains. At 1.7 miles, take left onto blue blazed Coon Den Falls Trail located in a saddle. Travel downhill for 0.8 miles to reach the falls on right. For this loop, once done admiring the falls, continue another 0.5 miles down to the roadway. Hang a left and carefully walk 0. | A 3.3 mile loop hike can be created by joining the A.T., blue blaze, and road walk. Park at the A.T. lot.
