Definitely a must-see!! There is good parking and handicap accessible. Restrooms are available with paved walkways. The first part of the trail is well paced and easily walking to the overlook. As the trail continues it is lightly rolling to flat, so tennis shoes are good footwear.
As the trail ends at the end there is a flat outcropping of rock mountaintop that offers a panoramic view of the valley for miles. Or, hike down The Great Stone Door, and rock stairway leading between massive rocks that split apart and will lower you into the forest canopy.
Allow about 45 minutes each way in and out.
Enjoy nature and this Tennessee jewel with your family this year.
Well maintained trails to hike and camp, we did our part every time we visited a trail, be respectful of nature, keep our trash with us, leaving no trace, leaving a donation and enjoy of this natural beauty.
This was our first time going there from Chattanooga. It was about 45 minutes away. We got there and easily found parking. There were bathrooms at the top and then a beautiful path to the over look. Then it continued down to a swinging bridge and to the water. The water was cool and a bit murky. I snorkeled around the base of the waterfall but the water was too dark to see much past 2 feet deep. I think it is a good place to go and visit in the summertime.
Great hiking! This is definitely hiking and not "walking" in the woods. We did the trail to Savage Falls via Savage Loop Trail. I love the swinging bridges!! The falls weren't that impressive, but it was pretty and fun.
Great Hike, clearly marked path mostly shaded. Nice waterfalls. Dogs allowed on leash, good swim spot. We saw a few other peanut definitely not crowded. A nice parking area. To the waterfall it’s 1.5 so round trip is a 3 mile trip. Not much elevation change.
