Description: Hike to Big Creek Overlook

Location: Savage Gulf State Park

Join Ranger Jamie on a day hike to the Big Creek Overlook. We will meet at the Savage Gulf West Trailhead (550 Greeter Falls Rd, Altamont, TN 37301) at 8:30 a.m. to begin the hike. We will begin the hike by taking the Greeter Trail to the Big Creek Overlook and on the way back we will be completing the Greeter Falls Loop Trail. This hike will be approximately 3 miles in total and is considered strenuous in certain areas- please be prepared for a challenging hike.

Please make sure you have sturdy hiking shoes, plenty of water and snacks, and are capable of completing the entire hike. We will take short breaks as needed but will also be walking for extended periods of time during the hike.

We will observe a beautiful overlook, waterfall, and we will also chat about the park and/or what we see along the way. Accessory items to help you enjoy the hike such as cameras and binoculars are encouraged but not required.
