Flint Mill Trail Reviews
This trail is quite difficult. It can be more difficult depending on what time of year you go. In the fall there are lots of leaves and acorns on the ground making it more slippery. The first part of the trail is relatively flat and in a wide open area. The majority of the trail has a very steep incline. It is a challenging hike and not for the faint of heart. Once you get to the top, there is an open area with a rock overlooking South Holston Lake. The view of the lake is like no other. The trailhead is along a gravel road and the marking is quite easy to miss. There is no defined parking, but plenty of room to pull off the road.
