Description

To get to this trailhead, you'll want to head south on Hwy 107 from Sylva toward Caney Fork Rd. Turn Left on Caney Fork and continue for about 2 miles to Moses Creek Rd. Continue for 2 miles, the pavement will end and turn to gravel. Continue for 1 more mile and look for a small pull off BEFORE the switchback on the gravel road. You'll see a small rise where the Forest Service created a barrier to prevent 4x4s from access. This is the trailhead.

In less than a mile, you'll come across a creek crossing. Cross the creek and follow the trail as it continues uphill, following the creek. In less than 2 miles, you'll begin a significant climb along the creek, eventually passing a waterfall on your left. The ascent climbs above the waterfall. Continue on to a junction. Going left will take you back down near the creek crossing.
