Falls Branch FS Trail 87

My Rating: Easy to Moderate




Length: 1.3 miles



Features: Great 55 foot waterfall



Getting There: From Cleveland take 65 East 8 miles. Turn on 411 and follow it 20 miles and turn onto 310/39 for 14.5 miles. At Tellico take 165 for 23 miles. If you reach the North Carilina border you have went 2 miles too far. The trailhead is on the right hand side of the road at what appears to be another overlook.



Description: When you first get on the trail make sure you take the trail to the left. The trail to the right is Jeffery Hell trail. The trail is not well blazed but the path is pretty easy to follow. The trail is easy with a few small inclines and decents until about 1.1 miles in. There it takes a tougher decent which can be slippery when wet. At about mile 1.2 you will come to the creek and can see the falls on your right. The trail continues after crossing the creek and leads all the way up to the waterfall. THIS WATERFALL IS WELL WORTH THE TRIP! You will not be sorry that you hiked this one!
