Saturday – Big South Fork, Honey Creek Loop, near Rugby, TN.

Saturday – Big South Fork, Honey Creek Loop, near Rugby, TN. Honey Creek Loop is our favorite trail. Short Hike: 4 strenuous miles doing a half loop along a rock bluff line exiting the trail at the Overlook which requires negotiating several ladders to the road. Long Hike: 6 strenuous/diff icult miles of the entire loop. The footing is significantly more diff icult than our typical hike so either the 4 or 6 mi hike will be a good work out. The long hikers will be crossing the creek a few times which normally can be rock hopped. The trail meanders through large boulders with limited head clearance. There is a cave but the ladder to it is/was in bad shape. Bring water, lunch and a snack. Don’t forget tick/bug spray and sunscreen. Depart 7:30 am CDST from Crossville Cracker Barrel’s rear parking lot. Gas cost $6.
