A really nice trail, there are some blow downs that you will need to climb over or go under. Many places to see the creeks and even a bit of wading. There will be some stream crossings done by rock hopping. Some complain about hearing the cars on the nearby road but honestly it isn't bad except when the jeeps drive by as those are loud. Saw 1 best on the trail no issues. If you start at the twin creeks trailhead you can park in the Mynatt park and walk safely in the road to trailhead( shirt walk). When the trail gets to an asphalt road if you want to see the FAERIE HOUSE turn right and walk downhill past the facility parking sign. You will see buildings ahead and a big blue and white sign at the resource center will direct you to the path. The Faerie house (spring house) is very pretty and worth the short side path. Lots of poison ivy. Enjoy

Easy hike that parallels Cherokee Orchard Rd where there is a good chance to see bear. For a longer hike you can take the trail up to Noah Bud Ogle Cabin, take Cherokee Orchard Rd up to Bullhead / Old Sugarlands Trail back to US 441 and hop on the Gatlinburg Trail back to Gatlinburg. Lengthy hike but easy with little elevation change.

A decent trail that can be done with the family. It runs along the old Voorheis Estate property. Some remnants of another time can be observed. This is an in and out trail and the first part you'll be hiking uphill and have to cross a creek without a bridge. Once this leads into Noah "Bud" Ogle trail you'll see a log cabin and a barn. This part of the trail is a loop and then you'll hike back down the mountain. All in all a good short trail. We aware that the science center has some areas sectioned off with electric fence so they can conduct some studies.

Wonderful, quiet hike just away from the busy touristy shops. While there, we saw salamanders and black bears!

No dogs on trail says the sign
It is an out and back trail, 4.5 miles round trip. But, be sure to hike the Bud Ogle Place Nature Trail that links at the southern end as it is beautiful. The nature trail is a loop trail a bit less than a mile.
