LAUREL FORK FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Laurel Fork Falls2333 viewsThis is one of the most visited falls in the area due to it's being located on the Appalachian Trail.

To reach the falls and get a good hike, venture up Dennis Cove Road and park at the well marked Appalachian Trail crossing.

There are at least two more falls on the way if you are a little more experienced.

If you want a little more difficult hike, park at the crossing in Hampton, TN.
