Two leisurely walks for the price of one along the Moccasin Creek Wildlife and Hemlock Falls Trails
Moccasin
Creek Wildlife Trail is a serene path that features interpretive information posted on plaques along the way. After the first half of that trail we will walk to Hemlock Falls Trail which follows
Moccasin Creek, a perfect example of a mountain stream with numerous cascading
rock falls and two large waterfalls. We promise that you will know you have been in a rain forest!
After lunch at Hemlock Falls we will then walk back and complete the second half of
the wildlife nature trail.
