Turtletown Falls Tennessee Hikes

Turtletown Falls and Tennessee Hikes

This weekend on Saturday Mike, Smash, myself, along with Jennifer and Caleb went on a hike to Turtletown Falls. The trip there was interesting and long because we were following directions that did not take us directly there.

The directions to the falls is actually easy. Travel highway 64 East to Ducktown, TN and take highway 68 North to Turtletown,TN. Turn left at the post office in Turtletown onto Farner Road and go approximately 3 miles to the sign marking Turtletown Creek Falls. Drive to the parking for the trail and start hiking up the trail. I believe the entire trail is about 1.5 miles long. As you near the falls you can take the trail to the left which will take you to the bottom of the falls.

At the falls you will see a beautiful sight. the falls come over a boulder that juts out over the creek and the falls split to go over both sides of the boulder. You can walk in the water under the falls but the stream is swift as it travels on sown the creek. The water is clear and cool and will cool you off from the hike.

Our dog Smash laid down in the water to cool off. He loved the cool water and he was so cute gulping the water as fast as he could. While playing in the water Caleb lost a shoe and it went floating downstream. Mike and Smash hiked down the trail and caught up with it since it got caught in an eddy. Caleb was happy to have his shoe back and he make sure he kept up with them after that.

After we all cooled down we hiked back to the Suburban and headed back to Cleveland,TN.
