Southeastern Outings Dayhike along Brushy Creek in the Bankhead National Forest

Southeastern Outings Dayhike along Brushy Creek in the Bankhead National Forest

Presented by Southeastern Outings at Hayden/Corner Park and Ride is Meeting Place

The hike will be 6 miles long and is rated moderate.  We will follow a beautiful trail which runs from the Brushy Creek Bridge along the creek.  In January of 2018 we observed about nine waterfalls on this route.  We should also see lovely cliffs, hemlock trees, canyons and perhaps some additional waterfalls.  If we have time, we may also visit the nearby natural bridge (not the one at the town of Natural Bridge) in the Natural Bridge Recreation Area of the Bankhead National Forest.

Carefully-supervised, well-behaved children age 10 and older welcome.
