Local Hiking / Waterfalls

Benton Falls

Located in the Chilhowee Recreation Area, this 3-mile hike takes you to a stunning 65-foot waterfall. The trail is beautiful, but be prepared for a series of steps near the falls that lead you down to the base. It’s a popular spot, so for a quieter experience, consider going early in the morning or on a weekday. Please note, there is a $3 per day park usage fee for this area.
