Customer Reviews
The streams Emory Gap Branch and Panther Branch had bizzare beautiful ice formations. How they formed is a mystery to me. From the intersection of Emory Gap Trail and Panther Branch Trail Panther Branch Trail was impassable due to a steep ice sheet across the trail. This was half a mile south of the intersection of Emory Gap Trail and Panther Branch Trail. Otherwise, the trails were well maintained. This was a delightful winter hike.
Lovely state park with a couple of playgrounds for my grandchildren, a creek bed rock hunt, and some good hiking trails. There was a campground that looked like it was set up for tents. I don't think you would be able to park anything but a mini camper. The area was in a drought without any creekflow or waterfall movement. The campground was pretty full for a November weekend.
We visited Saturday, and hiked Emory Gap Falls. It was 2.4 miles out & back (round trip). We had great hiking weather for December, with temperatures in the mid-50s, and a light breeze. A beautiful day at a beautiful park!
Stop at the visitor center. Helpful people working there, free map of the trails. At the time I visited (December) the park closed at 4:30 pm
Beautiful views that stretch all the way to the Smokies. The trails here can be very challenging but they are worth it
