This was a great time for my wife and 12 year old. Ideal to call ahead for a day pass or stay at the resort. Looked amazing!

Burgess Falls

If you like waterfalls, this hike is for you. Along the way you'll pass by Falling Water Cascades (20 ft), Little Falls ( 30 ft), Middle Falls (80 ft) and finally the main event, Burgess Falls (136 ft). There are a few spots for swimming so bring your suit if it's a warm day. It's an easy hike suitable for children, but be sure to wear good shoes with grip - it can get slippery towards the end...

Twin Falls, Rock Island State Park

Upon entering Rock Island State Park from the east, the parking area for this trail is located right after the old cotton mill (my friend and I actually ended up getting lost because it is tucked away there quite nicely). The trail that leads to Twin Falls actually starts at the westernmost part of the parking lot. The beginning of the trail is comprised of stairs that descend fairly rapidly so...

In addition each campsite has a four sided picnic bench, fire pit, trash can, charcoal grill, electrical hookup, and well water. At the front entrance of the camp there is a bath house with sh...

After snapping a few photos of the falls from above, follow the clearly marked trail down to the river's edge. From there, hikers have to do a little bit of bushwhacking. Follow the water upstream, skirting the banks of th...

Welch's Point

This location was recently opened back to the public by Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the Tennessee Department of Conservation and Environment in the fall of 2014 after being closed for over a decade! It is one of the most spectacular spots to watch the sunset in east Tennessee. This overlook is down the road beside Virgin Falls, where there is an abundance of waterfalls and hiking t...
