Mt. Cammerer Lookout Tower

Mouse Creek Falls
Highlight • Waterfall
You can reach this 45-foot waterfall by hiking about 2 miles along an old railroad grade. Keep an eye out for Midnight Hole, too; this pool and its 6-foot cascade are about three-quarters of the way to Mouse Creek Falls.

Low Gap Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
A steep and quite strenuous climb up to the Appalachian Trail or descent down to Cosby Campground. Take it serious because there's part of over 20-25% incline/decline.
Tip by
Davenport Gap Shelter
Highlight • Mountain Hut
A simple but useful shelter on the AT. In comparison to other shelters I've seen this one has a fence to lock out wildlife. Other shelters were more open concept :)
Tip by
Lower Mount Cammerer Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
Lower Mount Cammerer Trail is the longer route from Cosby Campground up to the Appalachian Trail and Mt. Cammerer. You can create a long looping hike with Lower Gap Trail.
