Deep Creek Trail Trailhead
@mikarobinson
One of our favorite summer activities! Rent a tube from a local vendor, bring a picnic lunch and spend the day!

Skinny Dip Falls Trailhead
@mikarobinson
Last year's flooding did away with the deep swimming hole here, but it is still a nice hike and great creek to explore!

Graveyard Fields Loop Trail
@mikarobinson
Has both a short and long trail. The shorter trail to the lower falls leads to a nice swimming hole, and the longer trail leads to the upper falls with a great view!

Big Creek Trailhead
@mikarobinson
Parking is limited and tight, but this is a great creek with multiple spots to swim and a great trail that runs beside it.

Max Patch
@mikarobinson
Unfortunately, there is no more camping at this spot on the Appalachian Trail due to people abusing the privilege, but it is an amazing spot to get a 360-degree view of the Smoky Mountains, and it is hard to beat a sunset here! The road is curvy and dirt, and there are no facilities there, so plan accordingly.

Sunburst Rocks
@mikarobinson
Great swimming hole and wide shallow creek to explore/enjoy! A good bit of parking and right on the road.

Looking Glass Falls
@mikarobinson
Can get VERY busy as it is easily accessible from the road, but it is a gorgeous waterfall with a nice creek and swimming area.
