スウェイン郡の滝・トップ7

Bradley Fork Trail follows a scenic stream through forest in the Great Smoky Mountains. This section of the trail has easy terrain, with few rocky sections, and has some small waterfalls on the way. It also connects to backcountry campsites, making it a good option for overnight trips.

Bartram Falls Trail is a steep hike up that follows Ledbetter Creek; just a few minutes walking up the trail you arrive at a small cascade along the creek, a refreshing start to the hike up to Bartram Falls.

June Whank Falls is a fun experience because the falls flow right under the bridge, giving you the best view of the falls. The bridge is as gorgeous as the falls themselves.

Very nice waterfall.

The trail to the Tom Branch Falls starts at Deep Creek Trailhead. After walking about 500 m along the Deep Creek Trail, you can see the 18-meter-high Tom Branch Falls.

The trail to the Indian Creek Falls starts at Deep Creek Trailhead. For about 1 km the trail follows Deep Creek Trail to the junction with Indian Creek Trail. About 100 m east of the junction, the Indian Creek Falls are located. The Falls are approx. 8 m high and the water flows down the rocks looking like a big water slide.

It takes about two hours to climb the trail from Kephart Shelter up to the Appalachian Trail, an elevation of approx. 700 m.

The trail begins with a climb of around 160 steps. The foot of the waterfall is quickly reached over a few roots and stones. Unfortunately, the path is closed from there, as of May 2022. That leaves only a short walk.
