This very short trail leads to a beautiful natural waterfall and swimming hole. The trail includes a steep section as well as roots and wooden steps that can be slick. Bring your own lunch to enjoy after a morning of swimming! \nAbout Blue Hole Falls: In 2023 SAHC purchased 29 acres in Carter County\, TN near the Blue Hole Falls recreation area.  This land adjoins Cherokee National Forest on three sides\, with the upper part of Mill Creek running through the property and into Blue Hole Falls downstream. SAHC transferred the property to the U.S. Forest Service in 2025 and is now a part of the Cherokee National Forest. Conservation of the property helps protect water quality in trout waters and downstream in Blue Hole Falls\, as well as scenic views from the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. \nREGISTER HERE:\nThank you for your interest in attending an outing with Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy.
