Once a five acre lake, the lake is now a HUGE wetland at 4100' elevation. This unique habitat can be home to some truly amazing plants and animals. So, let's hike on up and see what we can see! Along the way we will pass an 80 ft waterfall and relics from Rocky Fork's logging history.

This will be about 7 miles of rugged trails, including several unbridged creek crossings.

Meet Park Ranger Marty Silver at the Interstate Welcome Center on I-26, exit 46 (Clear Branch Rd.). From there, we will carpool to the trailhead.

Dress in layers as the weather at the top can be as much as ten degrees cooler than the trailhead, Boots are preferred due to the shallow creek crossings. This is a steep hike. Bring enough food water and gear to make you comfortable and happy.
