LONG CREEK FALLS

Long Creek Falls is located on a 0.1 mile blue blazed side trail off the Appalachian Trail, about one mile north of "Three Forks", the junction of three streams that join together to form the Noontootla River, on Forest Service Road 58. By AT miles, Long Creek Falls is 5 miles north of its southern terminus. note: on todays hike, April 7, 2006, FS 58 was closed near its southern end because of a cave in of the road.

Jon and Clyde drove to the Three Forks parking area after their hike to the Springer Mountain summit and hiked the easy, former jeep road (uphill) to the junction with the trail to the falls and also where the Benton MacKaye and Duncan Ridge Trails seperate from the Appalachian Trail. Out and back from FS 58 is a total of 2.2 miles.
