Description
"Benton Falls"
by Debra and Dave Vanderlaan
...One of the most scenic waterfalls in the Tennessee Cherokee National Forest, the Benton Falls is along a gorgeous trail in the Chilhowee Recreation Area.
This image was captured in July when the rhododendrons were in bloom surrounding the falls, making for a nice frame of flowers and foliage.
The falls is especially beautiful after a rainy day when the cascades are heavier, flowing over the undulating granite rock and streaming over the beds of rock below.
The Chilhowee Area offers many trails for hiking and biking and also camping and picniking around a very pretty lake where swimming is allowed.
The Benton Falls Trail is an easy 1.5 mile (each way) hike to the 65 foot high waterfall.
Another alternative is to take two cars, park one at the campground trail adjacent to Parksville Lake and the other up to the Chilhowee Rec Area with all of the hikers. Begin the Benton Falls Trail, follow the trail to the waterfall and then keep going. You will end up at your 2nd car which makes for an easy 5 mile hike with quite a bit of it slightly downhill. Then your group will need to drive back up to the trail-head in Chilhowee to retrieve your other vehicle, but this makes for a very enjoyable morning of hiking through the Cherokee National Forest of Tennessee...
