Rock Creek Trail
 | Once we left the starting point, we did not see any trail markings or info. about the trail. We hiked for almost two hours and the trail had no signs of circling back to the trail head so we turned around and returned via the same route. Should have info. signs telling hikers that you have traveled x number of miles and you have x number of miles to travel to reach the starting point. ... |
Wolf Ridge Trail
| I hiked via chestnut mnt to bigfrog summit, narrow view in summer. I would like to summit in winter for better views?... Myself and two buddies hiked up Wolf Ridge Trail on 1/18/06 in wintery, full moon conditions. We started the hike around 9:30PM and got to the broad summit of Big Frog shortly after midnight in 2 inches of snow and the wind had to be 25mph or so. Hunter ... |

John Muir National Recreation Trail
| I have not hiked this trail since at least 2005. However, what I remember is that it is a beautiful trail from Reliance (HWY 315) to Appalachia Powerhouse along the broad, rapid, and glorious Hiwassee River. However, upstream from the powerhouse, there is almost no river and my last time on that part of the trail (October, 2002) I remember lots of mosquitos and a poorly maintained trail. I only followed it a mile or two upstream from the powerhouse because there was no river and my goal had been to hike along the beautiful Hiwassee River. I mistakenly thought the river came out of Appalachia Dam and the trail would follow it the entire way. However, because the river is not released until Appalachia Powerhouse, hikers need to know that the only section of this that actually follows a big broad river are the five or six miles between Appalachia Powerhouse and Highway 315. However, those few miles are just beautiful for anyone who likes flat hiking along a giant mountain river!... |
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. Rocks are wet and slimy. Keep going past the top, especially if you have children with you....Trail starts below the dam, nice walk or bike to top of falls.

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.... |
Rice Camp Trail
| If you attempt Rice Camp Trail Make sure to have compass/GPS and map. There was a terrible storm that blew down literally hundreds of trees. The trail is impassible, no exaggeration!! You can get around the downed trees, but don't expect to stay on the trail. Trees are down about a 1 1/2 miles southeast of the Jacks River Trail.... |
Parksville Lake

Lake Conasauga Campground
 | 16 miles away ... 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 that way. Thank y... |
