Wednesday June 29, 2011 Hike -- Burgess Falls State Park with a side trip to Lost Creek Cave & Falls

Wednesday's hike will be to Burgess Falls State Park with a side trip to Lost Creek Cave & Falls. Burgess Falls will be a 1.5-mile round-trip moderately strenuous hike to see four waterfalls on the Falling Water River. The waterfalls are 20' cascades, 30' upper falls, 80' middle falls, and 136' lower falls in height. Next we will drive to Lost Creek Cave. The Lost Creek Cave hike is about a 1.5 mile round-trip, which is located in a sink and faces a 60-foot tall waterfall. We will go to the mouth of the cave and maybe a short distance inside. Bring flash lights just in case we go a short distance inside. Meet at Tractor Supply parking lot on Hwy 70 in Crossville with a departure of 8:00am CT. Carpool cost is $6. Photos: Russ Ginger Jim
