Itinerary:
Ready to cool off from the summer heat?  Then let's go take a hike to Jacks Falls for a little exploring and swimming.

There are many trails in the Cohuttas that lead into the falls, but Beech Bottom is the easiest way to get there. This easy to moderate trail is 4 miles oneway with another .6 miles to the falls.  We'll take a nice long lunch break to relax, enjoy the falls, swim and explore. 


Total hiking distance is 9.2 miles



Please note:  I'm allowing dogs, but limiting it to 3 total per the group. They must be well behaved and social with other dogs and people. They are the owners responsibility, so make sure you bring fresh water for them to drink while on the trail.

Required Items to Bring:
  • Lunch
  • Trail Snacks
  • 2 Liters of Water or sports drink

    Note: Your TL will have a water filter.

    Carpool Cost: Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $72.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.
