"Great place to relax and
hang out and enjoy being away from the everyday mad rush of modern life. We rafted the
Big South Fork (excellent), and we made good use of the hot tub. Nothing better than the hot tub under
the stars." CUSTOM HORSEBACK RIDES We enjoy pleasure trail riding
with SouthEast Pack Trips Custom Horseback Rides. Cowboy Larry McMillan says, "The
best way to see the real Big South Fork is from horseback." We highly recommend taking advantage of Larry's
passion for the Plateau wilderness, his love for horses and his easy-going, salty wit. In addition to short two-hour
trips, Larry also provides guided rides for hunting trips, overnight pack trips, and group rides large or small. To learn more, visit SouthEast Pack Trips. You can also email questions to Larry or call him at (931) 879-2260. SouthEast Pack Trips is located at 276 Dewey Burke Road -- less than three miles from Hemlock Bluff Cabin!
NORTHRUP FALLS AT COLDITZ COVE An easy hike with a beautiful pay-off, Northrup Falls is one of our family favorites. It's located in Allardt, Tennessee, just one mile off Hwy 52 and only a few minutes from Hemlock Bluff Cabin.
Don your swimsuit, take a picnic lunch, and hike the 1.5 mile loop that takes you behind the falls and down to a cool swimming hole.
ANGEL FALLS HIKE This easy hike meanders along the Big
South Fork to the famous Angel Falls and beyond. It's about 4 miles, roundtrip, if you hike to the Angel Falls and
turn back. Angel Falls is actually more of a big rapid than a true falls, but it's spectacular nonetheless.
The most striking feature about this particular section of the river are the huge boulders and low rock outcroppings along
the shoreline.
Overall, this trail is best known for the incredible wildflowers and mushrooms that grow all along its shady length. Enjoy!
NO BUSINESS CREEK HIKE
This beautiful hike takes you back in time, back to the remnants of very remote yet formerly bustling valley community that thrived before the advent of electricity and phones. Old house foundations, stone walls and fencerows stimulate your imagination as you stroll down the winding road that linked dozens of families together from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s. Read more about the National Park Service's version of a tale of tragedy that took place in No Business Creek. You can also read a feature story on the No Business Creek hike that appeared in the Knoxville News Sentinel.
