Description
Added by Tiffany Trent
Hike to this natural swimming hole, with cliff jumping and easy marked trails. Makes for a great day trip with rock structures to shelter yourself in case of rain, amazing scenery and multiple waterfalls.
An easy, yet extremely beautiful and well marked drive leads to a pretty sizable parking lot at the trailhead. There are multiple trails to hike, depending on how much time you have or how long you want to hike. This particular trail makes for a perfect day trip from Nashville, Chattanooga or Knoxville.
The trail is nicely marked, well traveled, not too strenuous (could be tricky in places for some) and pet friendly for the most part. It leads to a spiral staircase which takes you to the lower falls (the big falls with Blue Hole, the best swimming hole and cliff jumping). The lower and upper falls both have rocks where you can spread out a picnic, or just to hang around in between dips in the water. This is a very beautiful hike with a rewarding view.
