Painter initials1871 viewsTo hike to Painter Creek Falls one must obtain permission from the owner of the property at the trail head. Thanks to that property owner we found a pristine creek and falls. The falls is located about two miles up the creek with only about a fourth of that having a trail.

Thanks to Gene, the owner, and the Forest service for keeping Sampson Mountain a wilderness.

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.
