Set along the beautiful and serene Holston River, this 440 acre park was the backdrop for the 1984 movie, The River, starring Mel Gibson and Sissy Spacek. After the conclusion of the movie the property was ceded to Hawkins County.
Nice hike with family. Not too long
Made it there this weekend, very pretty and private. Once you reach the falls the trail head goes up a hill to the left that is the trail to continue onto kiner hollow which there is another falls about .5 miles.
pretty falls this am
tried to do trail but it's closed... you can call their phone and someone can update you if it's closed or not... if there is trees down they close park...fyi
Love this tail !!! Waterfalls are beautiful, the climb is great for most ages . Took my Husky and he had a blast. Works great that the trailhead is in a beautiful park with lots of picnic areas, shelters and a great playground for younger ones.
Nice trail with some great views. Loved all the waterfalls. Would not recommend for young kids.
This is a great easy hike. There is maybe one or two steeper inclines on the way to the falls. We went once during the fall and the falls were dried up. We tried again today and they were beautiful. Our dogs loved it! A great short hike with well taken care of trails. A lot of people bring swimming clothes.
We did see a good bit of litter. We had a bag so we picked up what we could and hiked it out. It is a beautiful place for a picnic, but please carry out your trash!
Love this fun little hike to the beautiful hidden falls! Great hike for the family!
All I can say is that this is a great simple hike with lots of fun for the kids to do. This is one of our favorite day hikes. I'm saying all this even after I tore all the ligaments in my left ankle on this hike. I still go back to do it again and again.
great views and very nice trail... love it
We were in to visit family and this trail was not far away from where we were. I am in awe of the beauty this park provides. Well kept and marked trails. We didn't make it all the way to the top but will definitely be back to explore more.
Great little hike with a couple of nice waterfalls.
Great little trail with a few hidden gems. This trail can be very challenging in Spring or Winter when water levels are up. There are a few Creek crossings depending on how far you go and if you seek the lesser known Kiner Falls or Logger Falls. Overall great scenery with high chance of seeing a deer and maybe a black bear.
The trail has improved over the years. It is well maintained and is a great trail for beginners. There are 2 spots on the main trail going towards the waterfall that are steep for those that may have trouble with walking up, but besides that it's an amazing and beautiful location. Also great for Dogs as long as you keep them on a leash they are allowed. If you're wanting to see the waterfall at its best go a day or two after a good rainfall.
Well maintained trail, great hike for family and dogs. Waterfall is very dependent on rainfall. May try to go back after a good rain.
It would be nice to actually see something than the same pictures over and over again a hundred times and this is for everyone trail that ive looked at so far. Learn how to take better pictures that will actually get people interested in going there.
Go right after it rains so the waterfalls are impressive.
I love this trail. The waterfall is very pretty and most definitely take a DSLR camera to make the most of it. I would call this an easy to moderate trail. Pretty popular. I've hiked this trail early spring and fall. Very nice.
Beautiful hike and waterfall, not incredibly difficult.
great trail with beautiful scenery. we will be back!
Very nice. The scent of wild jasmine was intoxicating.
Nice hike with wildflowers, creeks, waterfalls and even a very long black snake
We loved that it's close to home, a hike not too short of long, the waterfall and park are beautiful. We took our pup and he loved it as much as we did! So worth going to and great for kids too!
Good short trip
Really enjoyed this trail with my kiddos. Had a lot of fun and definitely would like to go back again soon.
beautiful area and we saw a few extra waterfalls on past the main three falls. enjoyed the new bridge and rocks to cross the creek
Great little hike
Great hike, there were a lot of things to explore
It's very peaceful and beautiful place
