 On High1529 viewsDon't let the description of 50 ft fool you. From this point it is abut 150 ft to the river level below but, the trail down in excellent.

With a little exploring and milling around plan on a four mile hike.

 Ol' Swimming Hole1606 viewsBeing near Tennessee Tech University it is welll used as a swimming hole. I don't know of any better. Deep hole at bottom with a diving platform of eight feet.

BTW, if you are incapable of logical decisions, the State Park Service provided a Ranger to make them for you. Don't be the Dummy that everyone speaks of in past tense .
