Hemlock Falls Trail
A 2 mile round trip, this hike’s main highlight is outstandingly beautiful: at the trail’s end, Hemlock Falls cascades over a sheer cliff, tumbling in tendrils of whitewater into a clear, cool pool below. To reach the waterfall, this hike follows Moccasin Creek upstream from Lake Burton, catching beautiful views throughout its one-mile length. After plunging over this hike’s main attraction, the creek tumbles through a rocky, boulder-filled valley, cascading in many smaller waterfalls, framed by a lush, green forest.
Hiking Hemlock Falls is one of the longer hikes on our list, but well worth the walk. This trail is a 2 miles hike once you have hiked in and out. On this one the hike itself is filled with the view of Moccasin Creek. You will enjoy the clear and white waters of one of the most peaceful places in the County.
