 Painter initials1605 viewsTo hike to Painter Creek Falls one must obtain permission from the owner of the property at the trail head. Thanks to that property owner we found a pristine creek and falls. The falls is located about two miles up the creek with only about a fourth of that having a trail.

Thanks to Gene, the owner, and the Forest service for keeping Sampson Mountain a wilderness.

 Really East Tennessee2186 viewsThis waterfall measures only 12 ft high. This web site qualifies any cascade above 8 ft as a waterfall.

With this in mind, this may be the most Eastern waterfall in Tennessee.

 Dry2376 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.Sep 21, 2013

 Squibb Creek Upper Falls **2207 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. Jul 03, 2013

 Top Of Squibb Creek Falls lower falls **2270 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) **2232 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.Nov 23, 2012
