Trail Overview
Located in Clarks Creek Recreation Area. Forest Service Trail #115. It's a great introductory hike for those who don't like hiking, small kids, can't hike far, or just getting started. The hike is short along a very remote setting with a great payoff at the end.
How to get there
From the end of the paved portion of Clarks Creek Road continue 1.7 miles (total of 3.1 since leaving TN107) trail head on your left, parking on your right.
Route Description
Short hike, mostly uphill to the falls. At the junction of two blue blazed trails, stay to the LEFT to see the falls and cross the creek.
Typical Conditions
Fairly well worn path with some rocks. Great hike for those new to hiking. It feels remote, fairly easy, short, and a great payoff at the end for the falls. The one stream crossing has flat rocks nicely positioned for a dry crossing.
Fees, Permits, etc.
No fee required.
After the Hike
Misc. Information
Maps
Note: Either error in the mapping, or more likely poor reception due to the trees, the trail is shown a little too far north. The first portion of the hike will have you heading out with the branch on your left.
