Ozone falls is a short 15 minute walk from the parking lot. You can stand just above this 110 ft waterfall ( but be careful!!). There is also a great swimming hole beneath the falls.

This beautiful, 110-foot waterfall is an easy 15-minute walk from the parking area. Note that the walk down to the falls, although short, is steep and there isn’t a well-marked trail down. It’s more about choosing the path of least resistance. Also, it can get quite busy in the summer time especially mid-day, however in the other seasons and early in the morning and at dusk, it's generally not as crowded.

The pool is great for swimming if you're in the mood and just be careful standing at the top of the falls!

This is a great area any time of year! In the summer it is a great place to cool off and in the winter it can provide for some pretty cool photography when the temps drop low enough for ice to form.

Absolutely beautiful waterfall and good swimming hole. Quite a few people came through while I was there. Bring quality sandals (not flip flops) as the terrain is very rocky.

Hike to Piney Falls

The gravel road heading to the trailhead is on the rougher side to take it slow. When you get to the trailhead it’s a small gravel pull off right off the road. There are no maps at the trailhead but there are only a few trails to take and they are marked with a blue marker. To get to the upper falls head down the trail until you reach a three way split. It is about .75 miles to the campsites. A...

Hike to Stinging Fork Falls

The trail begins on the right side of the parking lot. The first part is flat with no elevation change and easy walking. About half a mile in you will reach a trail split. The right trail will take you to the falls and the left trail will take you to an overlook of the gorge below. I was not able to go to the overlook due to the late hour; however, I definitely would because I have read in many...

Take in the View at Lilly Bluff Overlook

Honestly this is hard to even call a trail, but that doesn't mean it lacks beauty.

The trail starts near the front of the parking lot on the right side of the parking lot next to the board with trail maps and notices. Continue straight on the trail with no t...
