CT: Stinging Fork Falls
April 29 @ 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
Saturday, April 29 — Cumberland Trail: Stinging Fork Falls Section, about 6 miles, moderate/ strenuous, elevation gain 1,679’; short shuttle. We’ll start hiking from the bottom at the Shut In Gap Road parking lot. We’ll be entertained by the cascades of Soak Creek and the Little Piney Creek as we do steep ascents and descents repeatedly, working our way up along rocky bluffs to Stinging Fork Falls. Despite its name, this waterfall is quite splendid! Check the weather forecast and wear appropriate layers; wear hiking shoes or boots; bring snacks and/or lunch along with more water than you think you need; and gather up hiking poles, rain jacket, sunscreen, flashlight/headlamp, and insect repellent as needed. For carpooling/caravanning, meet at the Durham Street parking lot (ball fields) off Dayton Pike in Soddy-Daisy at 8.30 am ET. https://bit.ly/3Qjdc0S Please register with Tammy Hendrick at 315-949-8187.
