Itinerary:

Wow, it's hot outside! Why go to White Water, deal with the crowds, ticket prices, when there is a perfectly good swimming hole right up the road!?

Join us for a day of hiking and swimming in the beautiful Cohutta Wilderness...... There are many trails in the Cohuttas that lead into Jacks Falls, but Beech Bottom is the easiest way to get there and enjoy a nice long lunch break and swim. This easy to moderate trail is 4 miles oneway with another .6 miles to the falls. Total hiking distance is 9.2 miles
