PINE RIDGE FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Pine Ridge Falls2424 viewsAn easy hike up a well maintained trail. In the Clark Creek, TN area off TN HWY 107.

My second wild bear sighting while hiking. There is no photo because I would not hold still long enough for the bear to focus. :}

LONG ARM BRANCH, TN.JPG
Long Arm Branch Falls2575 viewsIn the Clark Creek area Of TN HWY 107. A moderate hike but, to see it at it's best wait for a heavy rain.

While in that area you might as well beat yourself up by seeing Wilderness Falls.

Dry2658 viewsDon't drive to Big South Fork to photograph this falls unless there has been significant rainfall.

I would classify this as a wet weather falls.

That said, Needle Arch is just down the trail, less than half mile.

Squibb Creek Upper Falls **2517 viewsThis seems to be the upper most falls on Squibb Creek but, that could be a geriatrics view.

Lets one practice creek crossing, if you like that sort of thing.

Top Of Squibb Creek Falls lower falls **2575 viewsLou and I took the hike up Squibb Creek after a night of heavy rain. If your thing is creek crossing this is for you.

The round trip is about five miles and with the water level high and a trail not much different than the creek, a grand time was had by all.

We found getting to the bottom of the falls, with the high water, was a little risky hence the top photos.

I recommend this trip just for the fantastic cascades below the Falls.

Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **2553 viewsThis Falls is one of the prettier small waterfalls in the area of Limestone Cove.

I only rate it as ** because of the two mile hike, one way, and the mud holes from vehicles.
