Big Lost Falls
Come across this waterfall off some random post on Facebook. It is a brand new trail that just recently opened this year and after reading the post and realizing where it was located I knew I had to explore it. There really isn't much details on this trail other than where the trail head is and that you have to cross over five creek crossings.
These pictures are from my second trip on the trail. Like I said there isn't any info for this trail so the first time I hiked it I went in blind without knowing how far of a hike this was. I followed the tape markers until I came to a point where they stopped. So not knowing how much further I had to go and no trail markings it was decided to turn back and do some research to see what I could find. Little did I know when I got back to my vehicle a gentleman then informed me I was literally right there at the waterfall and all I had to do was just go up and around the corner to find it.
So went back to find this waterfall. This time with my hiking buddy Sarah M. Presley. Now they are still currently working on this trail because they cleared a area and put some of the debris along the side of the trail that blocked one of the creek crossings with the tape markers from the first time I went on this trail. So went up to where they stopped and had to cross in a different part but luckily it was next to the markers on the other side. Made our way up and got to find the waterfall and sure enough it was just up and around the corner.
On the way out we did come across a copperhead and even seen a baby wild hog but over all this is a great trail. You do cross over water like it was said so you will get wet on this one and the trail isn't to bad to traverse other than trying not to slip on slippery rocks as you cross the creeks. There is alot of tree stumps and roots I may have almost tripped over several of them. I want to say as for how far of a hike this is you might be looking at around 4.4 miles in and out total.
