Easy trail to old schoolhouse; can continue on to the old Walker Sisters' Homestead
Metcalf Bottoms Trail
Metcalf Bottoms TrailEasy trail to old schoolhouse; can continue on to the old Walker Sisters' Homestead
Easy 2.4-mile round trip hike to beautiful falls. A nice day of hiking could start with a morning hike to Laurel Falls (to beat the crowds), a driving stop by the Sinks, a picnic lunch either at the Sinks or Metcalf Bottoms picnic area, and finally the Metcalf Bottoms hike to the schoolhouse (and possibly on to the old Walker Sisters' home if you still have the energy!).

Reachable by car - a great place to stop for a picnic lunch or a dip in the water! Also a nice place to take a break between the Laurel Falls and Metcalf Bottoms hikes.
