PINE RIDGE FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Pine Ridge Falls2341 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. :}

Wall To Wall Waterfall1856 viewsThe falls at Rock Island, TN are just that, wall to wall.

Due to the leakage from up river through the limestone and back into the lower river there is literally about a mile of waterfalls.

Dry2581 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 **2466 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 **2506 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) **2498 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.
