Let’s get ready for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday with a little exercise - a hike to a waterfall in the Smokies. This is one of the least well-kept secrets in the Smokies. This 2 mile round trip hike to a beautiful waterfall begins at the Great Smoky Mountain Institute at Tremont and passes by places of historical and geological interest. We travel through several forest types to eat lunch by a 60-foot waterfall.
Save the date! The Holiday Party will be on Saturday, December 3rd from 10 am - 1 pm. Check out the Bigs' Corner for more details.
Theme: Holiday Craft Night! Can't make it to the Holiday Party or just feeling more festive? Join us for holiday crafts & games. Event will be held at the United Way of Anderson County.

This will be a relaxing afternoon playing one of the fastest-growing outdoor sports, especially among young people. Don’t worry if you have never played the game. If you can toss a Frisbee you can have fun playing this game. We will supply discs for everyone to use and practice throwing them. We’ll learn the mechanics and rules of disc golf and spend some time playing a round or two on the 9-basket Inskip Course that was specially built for youth to learn to play.
