From The top1112 viewsThis view of Coon Den if grom the bottom looking straight up.

Coon Den is near Hampton, TN. Just ask any local for Dennis Cove, go over the mountain, pass the Appalachian Trail and keep looking on your right for the trail going up. It is well marked and just about a half mile.

Wake Forest Falls and water system1119 viewsWake Forest falls is privately owned but, right beside the road. As you can see the owner uses it for a water supply.
LAUREL FORK FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Laurel Fork Falls1829 viewsThis is one of the most visited falls in the area due to it's being located on the Appalachian Trail.

To reach the falls and get a good hike, venture up Dennis Cove Road and park at the well marked Appalachian Trail crossing.

There are at least two more falls on the way if you are a little more experienced.

If you want a little more difficult hike, park at the crossing in Hampton, TN.

Dry1886 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 **1770 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 **1815 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) **1815 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.
