Anyone hiked the trails at Fall Creek Falls State Park, Tennessee? We just returned from a family reunion there and noticed there were several hiking trails on the park map. I think there were 3 that were around 13 miles each. The rest were very short.

I have some friends that live close to there and the photos they've shown me are stunning. I've seriously considered having a Howl there but the prices seem to be a bit to the high range.

We have hiked the shorter hikes at the park...they were populated, but had gorgeous views as they take you by all the waterfalls, even over a swinging bridge. If you are there and have the time, I would at least do the waterfall hike. It is beautiful. Haven't been on the longer trails though.

Went there for my honeymoon back in the spring!

Most of the trails my wife and I did were easy, though the one down to Fall Creek Falls itself can tire you out if you bolt down it like a 5 yr old child silly with glee at seeing the largest waterfall east of the Rockies [I later came across this site, to my dismay
http://www.world-waterfalls.com/myths.php
].

Nice pictures. We go up there every year and I never cease to be amazed at the size of the canyon into which the water fall runs. It's like a miniature grand canyon only with trees. Next year we plan to hike some of the trails.
