Southeastern Outings Waterfall Walk, Stream Wade and Long Swims

Join us for short, moderately easy hikes to two waterfalls on South Caney Creek.  We’ll swim at both of the falls.  These falls are very lovely.

If you think that you may want to come home before the group outing is completed, please don’t come on this outing.  In order to prevent traffic congestion at the trail head most of our vehicles will be parked at a remote location during the entire outing.  Most outing participants will not be able to access their cars by just walking back to the start point of the walk.

Wear old shorts or a swim suit and sturdy footwear you don’t mind getting wet and dirty.  Old sneakers work well.  Bare feet, flip-flops, loose slip-ons and thin-soled “beach shoes” are not acceptable!  Also bring a towel along with your picnic lunch and water.

After the outing we are planning to go to a restaurant for an optional dinner.  You can shower and change clothes at a campground near the restaurant.  If you would like to shower and/or clean up and have dinner with us at the restaurant, please bring a change of clothes for dinner and your shower things.  No charge to use the campground rest room just to wash up and change clothes.  If you wish to shower, please bring $2.00 exact change cash for shower fee.

Well-behaved, properly-supervised children age 7 and over welcome.  Depart 9:00 a.m. from the Floor Décor Store on Green Springs Highway or meet 10:20 a.m. at Jacks in Double Springs.
