Nice moderate hike 2.7 miles to a beautiful campsite #18 on the river. Great for kids who enjoy the log bridge and water. Pleasant for a short in -and- back trail however the trail does continue onto Bote Mountain trail if you want a longer hike. Elevation gain 1375. There's a cemetery you can visit along the way. This trail is located in the Tremont area of the Smokies.
