Sill Branch Falls is a 3.3 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Erwin, Tennessee that features a waterfall and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
The first part of the hike has an easy incline, when the trail forks, stick to the left and you'll immediately cross a small stream. Continue on up this steep section of trail and you'll soon arrive at the falls.
Follow Clark’s Creek Road until you hit gravel. Then go about another 1.5 miles, pass the first parking area on the left, the trailhead is ahead on left with parking
The First The Slab The Cliff The Bridge The Door The Fork The Hook
The waterfall was spectacular.. recent rain definitely filled this fall out.. a word though.. the trail is not marked rhat great.. At the double blue blaze take a left.. cross small creek go up the recently installed steps.. this trail leads directly to the falls
Great trail to falls. Muddy/slippery from large amounts of rain and snow melt.
This was nice. Took. 2 year old and two 10 year olds and it was great. Even eight he snow and cold. .6 miles from the parking lot
Very pretty. Lot's of horses riding up the service road on a Sunday. You can park at the entry of Cherokee National Forest or by car drive 1.5 miles to the trail head. The trail itself is not hard but for a steep incline and a stream (fairly easy). Very pretty falls. If you park in the lower lot you can get in a 5 mile hike (but most will be a service road) otherwise it's less than a mile to the falls (if you park at the trail head). I recommend hiking poles for the trail as it's rocky and wet with leaves in the fall.
Beautiful trail. Rocky followed the creek. Lots of small cascades to photograph!
It was beautiful! Climbed the cliff next to the waterfall and saw a small cave in the side of the cliff, but also met some unfriendly yellow jacket bees!
Easy hike with 1 small ascent following the creek crossing. There is no need to follow the trail beyond the falls.....nothing there.
Actually just a short, howbeit worthwhile, walk of only .6 miles (if you stay left and only go to the falls). Saw a sharp-shinned hawk at the falls. Lovely walk along this mountain stream!
