Trail Overview

Located in Clarks Creek Recreation Area.

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.
