Simple Tables are available to easily add tables to your page. This allows more "logical" and compact addition of simple tables to the page. You can also type out a table in a spreadsheet and save the content as a comma delimited or tab delimited file and paste it between the table commands. Tab delimited is useful if you want to use commas in the text. Excel's "Save as..." includes an option to save as either tab or comma delimited text files. After saving it, open the created text file, then paste the contents between the tab open and close commands. See the link for details but most usage is likely as follows (omit "sep=comma" if the data is tab delimited):
<tab class=wikitable sep=comma head=top> Head 1,Head 2,Head 3 Field 4,Field 5,Field 6 Field 7,Field 8,Field 9 </tab>

{{Trail Map}} __TOC__ == Trail Overview == Accessed from [[Rock Creek Recreation Area]]. Parking fees apply. See park page for details. == How to get there == From Erwin, TN #Take Exit 36 off I-26. #Turn left on unnamed road across the interstate to intersection with Tenn. 107 in Erwin. #Turn right on Tenn. 107 for about a mile. #Turn left on Tenn. 395 (USFS sign to Beauty Spot). #Proceed 3.2 miles. #Turn left into the USFS Rock Creek Recreation Area. #Park near restrooms at Picnic Area. Same as for [[Rattlesnake Ridge]] Trail == Route Description== Walk the paved road through campground or alternately take the new bypass trail around. The trailhead is behind the tent camping area. Forest Service Trail #148 Rock Creek Falls follows the Rock Creek as it winds up the hollow. Do not cross either the bridge at the trailhead nor the one shortly up the trail as these are for a mountain bike loop. Just past the second bridge, you'll see signs for entering the Unaka Wilderness area. You'll pass several smaller falls and cascades on the way to the main falls located in a secluded, rocky amphitheater. == Typical Conditions == The blue blazed trail can be narrow, rough, and steep as work your way up Rock Creek. There are four creek crossings which were easily "rock hopped" as folks have been placing stepping stones. Otherwise, recommend bringing water shoes to protect feet on the possibly slippery rocks. It will take a couple of hours to hike up the trail depending upon how quickly you can cross the creek - and stops to observe the mountain hollow and cascading stream. ==Fees, Permits, etc. == Rock Creek Campground is open May 1 through November 1. Campground gates are closed from 10 PM until 7 AM. If closed, then add a mile to hike in from the main gate. Day use area fee is $2 per car. Permit must be visibly displayed in vehicle. '''Wilderness designated area, thus group size is limited to 14 people.''' Dogs are allowed, but must remain on a 6 ft or shorter leash. == Misc. Information == Trail distance on the kiosk says 2.5 miles, but only 1.52 miles measured. == Photos == {{Park trail gallery|Trail={{PAGENAME}}}}
