WILDERNESS FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Upper Middle361 viewsThere being another falls above this one and this one being divided into three parts, we call it the
upper part of the middle falls.

We estimated it to be about 150' high. We also plan to return with a Hypsometer for a more accurate measurement and measurement of the cascade of falls located here.

LAUREL FORK FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Laurel Fork Falls612 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.

Charlie 801 viewsWe met Charlie on Little Stony Creek Trail accompanying his friend down a very cold trail.

After making sure we were no threat he assumed his watch atop the back pack. When his transportation knelled down Charlie took his post atop the back pack. No, he did this willingly of his own accord.
