			* Iron Furnace Trail (FS #109) which was observed to be an overgrown, washed out narrow path leading up drainage to no scenic feature
			* Clarks Creek Trail (no FS number) which did not have sufficient public use to justify its maintenance

	== Buckeye Falls ==		== Buckeye Falls ==
	Officially, Buckeye Falls is measured at 475 feet being the tallest waterfall system in Tennessee. However, many locals swear it falls more than 600 feet if counting countless cascades; unofficially beating Whitewater Falls in North Carolina as the tallest waterfall east of the Rockies. ~~But~~ the 600 foot ruling has not been officially confirmed due to the steep/sheer drop terrain.		Officially, Buckeye Falls is measured at 475 feet being the tallest waterfall system in Tennessee. However, many locals swear it falls more than 600 feet if counting countless cascades; unofficially beating Whitewater Falls in North Carolina as the tallest waterfall east of the Rockies. However, the 600 foot ruling has not been officially confirmed due to the steep/sheer drop terrain.

	~~Requiring~~ a 3.6 mile ~~hike~~ through water fords and rocks~~, it is a low-flow cascading waterfall~~. ~~So plan on making a trek to~~ the ~~base of the falls after a good rain. During the summer time~~, the ~~flow may~~ be ~~dry. However~~, ~~the trip to the base is more of a challenge which hikers love to brag about.~~		'''There is no longer an officially recognized Clarks Creek Trail to Buckeye Falls.''' The former difficult hike required a 3.6-3.8 mile trek through water fords and rocks. For the Tennessee Eastman Hiking & Canoeing Club, the hike was reported to be our first, but will not be pursued during the 75th Anniversary in 2021.

	~~Some adventurers~~ will ~~opt for the more panoramic view by going up the Lower Higgins Creek drainage outside of Erwin and viewing~~ the ~~falls from Chigger Ridge on Rich Mountain~~.
