Join the TN State Park Rangers on an adventurous hike to the top of Chigger Ridge. From here, we will be in one of the only known spots to view Buckeye Falls in its entirety. Buckeye Falls, in Unicoi Co, is one of the largest waterfalls ( in the top 3) east of the Rockies, measuring anywhere from 700-900 ft.
The Round Trip is roughly 10 miles. Some hiking is off-trail on steep hillsides. Please bring enough food, water, rain/cold weather gear, and stout footwear to allow you to explore the backcountry of Rocky Fork safely and comfortably.
We will meet at the TN Welcome Center on I-26 off the Clear Branch Rd exit. The address to the Welcome Center is Beechnut Dr, Erwin, TN 37650
