Bullen Hollow Trail

I hiked the bullen Hollow trail 2-2-08 with the Geenevile hiking club. This is an old atv trail and the first part is very steep climbing up through mountain laurel and hardwoods.After you reach the ridge line the trail levels and skirts the edge of a small canyon,with views of huge cliffs on the other side.Margarette falls are below this trail and you can here the creek all along the way.There is a nice lunch spot at the top when you reach an old logging road.I would rate this trail as moderate.Total milage 5 miles. National Geographic map # 782 will show you how to get to the trail head....

Paint Creek Campground
10 miles away
As a life-long ''patron'' of Paint Creek, I can say I have seen it go through MANY changes. Aside from just the campground the main ''Coridor'' of the Park has several Picnic sites with rest-rooms, as well as 5 or 6 secluded, single group campsites, that arent in the campground itself. These are, in MY opinion the better places to camp, as they are all close enough to a picnic area to walk to use the restroom. There is also a relitively deep ''swimming hole'' and picknic area called Dudley Falls. It is located about halfway into the corridor. There are cliffs to dive from, for the thrill seeker, as well as Paint Rock, located at the emergence of Paint Creek into The French Broad River. Paint Rock is a 160 foot, Sheer vertical, limestone Cliff. PERFECT for rappelling, again for the thrill seeker in all of us!!

As a Greene County Native, I may be Biased, but I honestly think Paint Creek Recreational area is one of the Finest examples of what the Great Smokey Mountains have to offer....
