Sill Branch Falls

Low water levels but the hike was nice. Saw my first baby bear.

directions worked fine for us. great trail along the river with a bunch of small pools and waterfalls to play in. recommended.

DO NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS FROM THIS APP!!!!!! S Suther below has perfect directions in their review! THANK YOU!!!
The App directions take you to someone's driveway WAY off from where you should be!

The falls are beautiful. We took our 5 year old and he did great! Take some water shoes with you so you and the kid da can splash around at the foot of the falls!

One steep section but with good traction shoes you'll do fine. It's a beautiful place.

Easy trail with 1 creek crossing that can be rock -hopped unless alot of rain has fallen .A short uphill climbing part after u cross creek but nothing bad and is beautiful to see with snow or ice on the falls .Does tend to have low flow in summer months without adequate rainfall .

Do not follow the directions on the app!

You can follow the forestry service directions from Greeneville as previously posted. Here's directions from I-26:

(Copied from http://appalachiantreks.blogspot.com/2008/12/sill-branch-falls.html?m=1)

Take I-26 to the Erwin/Jonesborough exit #37. At the end of the ramp, turn right and take State Route 81/107 west for 6.5 miles, stay on Rt. 107 by turning left and continue for 5 more miles. Turn left on Clark's Creek Road and drive 3.1 miles (the last 1.7 will be gravel) into the Cherokee National Forest to a small parking area on the left. A small brown marker indicates the trail head for Sill Branch Falls -- 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.

It is a easy hike and great for all ages! I recommend going in late spring when the water levels are high! in the summer there is not much water flowing down the creek.

Good little trail. We took the kids (3yr, 5yr) and it was just challenging enough to keep their attention. The directions the app gives are way off though. I will post a screen shot of the correct directions.

There were no trespassing signs everywhere. No thanks!! Then saw a huge bear. Not going back.

Nice short hike with young kids.

Super easy short hike and stunning waterfall!

Over the past 2 days I've hiked this 3 times! I love this trail, it's super easy with one little spot that gets difficult because it is very steep but rather than that it's an awesome trail.

Great for the entire family to be out,and a nice waterfall

Beautiful short hike. If I didn't read the reviews I would of missed the fork info. Yes at the fork turn left. Beautiful waterfall.

I love to be outside but am far from being in shape. It's an easy hike and very relaxing. When the water is calm you can find some huge crawdads.

Short hike, was not difficult at all. The waterfall was abolutley gorgeous. Very serene and secluded. Highly reccomend for a short daytrip

This is a beautiful and enchanting hike. There are several areas to stop and just enjoy nature along the trail. Once you come to a fork and a tree that is clearly marked with blue. Go left and up the hill to get to the fall. This trail is very well maintain and easy for any age. I am looking forward to my next visit.

take the fork to the left. we knew to do this and still missed it. so did several other hikers. it looks like it's just a way to go down to see the babbling brook but go down and across and then it goes steep uphill. it's beautiful and breathtaking!

Great hike for kids and a beautiful waterfall!
