Benton Falls Trail
Trail starts below the dam, nice walk or bike to top of falls then a little steep or rough to bottom, plus side trails along the way....Great short hike, potentially dangerous at top of falls - no fence or warning signs.

Lowry Falls Trail
Lowry Falls Trail is an easy to moderate trail which features several small waterfalls and some nice rock and cliff formations. The trail is well maintained and marked. Most of the trail is even but there are a few small inclines which could be considered as moderate although they are pretty easy even for a beginner hiker like myself. About 0.25 miles into the trail there is rock bluff that runs beside the trail. Walk under the bluff to reach the best waterfall along the trail....

Lake Conasauga Campground
16 miles away
...Conasauga for the last few years I am very upset about the way people are treating the facilities offered there. As this area grows in popularity, and more and more people use it, I am saddened by the way this beautiful lake and mountian is being abused and trashed. The catch phrase ''Leave only your footprints'' applies to all US National Forests for a reason. One can only assume that you use this camping area for it's beauty and freshness, so why then do so many people leave it in such a mess? To have to pick up over 50 bags of trash, often left scattered about after a non-holiday weekend, is unreasonable. I don't mean to rant or nag, but, it isn't that hard to put a grocery bag in you pocket when fishing along the lake trail and walk out with the trash you create. The hosts in most camp grounds are volunteers and are unpaid. They pay for all of their own expenses to be there in order to keep the grounds and restrooms clean and stocked. So, PLEASE, read and obey the rules posted. Few places are as beautiful as our National Parks, please lets all make that small effort to keep them ...
