Wild Tennessee1127 viewsThe upper reaches of Laurel Creek is still a wild place and don't get too excited if you see a Bear passing through. It's that kind of wild.

PINE RIDGE FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Pine Ridge Falls1619 viewsAn easy hike up a well maintained trail. In the Clark Creek, TN area off TN HWY 107.

My second wild bear sighting while hiking. There is no photo because I would not hold still long enough for the bear to focus. :}

Dry1886 viewsDon't drive to Big South Fork to photograph this falls unless there has been significant rainfall.

I would classify this as a wet weather falls.

That said, Needle Arch is just down the trail, less than half mile.

Squibb Creek Upper Falls **1770 viewsThis seems to be the upper most falls on Squibb Creek but, that could be a geriatrics view.

Lets one practice creek crossing, if you like that sort of thing.

Top Of Squibb Creek Falls lower falls **1815 viewsLou and I took the hike up Squibb Creek after a night of heavy rain. If your thing is creek crossing this is for you.

The round trip is about five miles and with the water level high and a trail not much different than the creek, a grand time was had by all.

We found getting to the bottom of the falls, with the high water, was a little risky hence the top photos.

I recommend this trip just for the fantastic cascades below the Falls.

Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **1815 viewsThis Falls is one of the prettier small waterfalls in the area of Limestone Cove.

I only rate it as ** because of the two mile hike, one way, and the mud holes from vehicles.
