Trail was in terrible shape. Lost it multiple times. Overgrown, no river access. Never do this one again. This was the least enjoyable hike I’ve ever done.

Trailhead Campsite Loop via Pees Hollow Trail

Good hike, a little hard to find the trail at times, BEAUTIFUL in the fall with the leaves changing.

This was a great hike to get back at it. The first portion is pretty much up hill will some great views over the river. There is a downhill portion with the remaining 2ish miles being flat.

The upper part of the trail is fun. The lower part follows a road and there is a fair amount of road noise.

Beautiful short trail. Our hike ended up right at 3 miles from the parking lot. We did this in the winter. Great views of the falls and then the trail continues down to the river. Little bit of uphill and then a nice coast back to the parking lot. Grabbed lunch at a local spot and headed on home.

The trails were carpeted with freshly fallen leaves, It hadn't rained lately so the footing was mostly good, and the creek crossings were easy. A walking stick was helpful as the leaves made the footing slippery at times on inclines.
