Hiking to Waterfalls on Signal Mountain Near Chattanooga, Tennessee
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Join us on an exciting hike to waterfalls that’s just a fifteen minute drive from downtown Chattanooga in Tennessee. Middle Creek Falls is a magical area of multiple waterfalls and clear swimming pools that is popular among the locals. It’s located on Signal Mountain, with the hidden trailhead for Middle Creek Trail right off of Suck Creek Road. On this adventure, we are testing our hiking shoes with some seriously fun boulder climbing up a dry stream bed that is usually flowing with water, and then cool off by jumping into the waterfalls. We hope you enjoy joining us on this adventure!

Hiking to Waterfalls on Signal Mountain Near Chattanooga, Tennessee
Recorded: May 2022
Anyone watching this: If you go hiking here you can boulder crawl like they did in this video but there is also a fragmented trail that follows the creek. If you are walking in from the parking area just stay on the right hand side of the creek. The trail will veer off to the right, up some stone steps. Keep going up the boulders, following where the natural sort of cut out takes you and the trail picks back up again. A little ways up, the trail sort of splits in different directions but they end up taking you to the same spot not far from where it splits. This trail, I’m guessing, was made from people trekking through, creating a natural path. A bit further up the trail it seemingly comes to a dead end but I am told that it continues, eventually taking you to rainbow falls and signal point.
😊It looks like so much fun. Hot weather, cold water, PERFECT❗
Definitely! After hiking a while in the heat, the cool water was perfect! It's always so cold at first and then it's just so refreshing that it's hard to leave it! 😊
Thanks for taking us along for another adventure gorgeous waterfalls! That grotto was spectacular! I bet that water felt so refreshing! Really enjoy your videos and adventures!
Thank you so much Paulette!! I wish we would've had time to enjoy the grotto even more. We actually didn't' realize it was there until right when we were leaving. We're so happy you're enjoying the adventure! Thanks for watching! 💓
My thoughts EXACTLY 😎👍🏼👍🏼.. Have a great day
This summer on our trip we parked on Soco rd in Maggie valley on the side. It was really freaky but worth it to see Soco Falls. It was beautiful. Paul's brother takes you guys to some interesting places to hike. After this summer we are loving waterfalls too. They are amazing! Florida has a few man-made ones but nothing compared to what we saw in GA, TN, NC, and AL. Lol your brother listens to Lord of Rings music while on an Adventure! Beautiful area!
Those are all such beautiful areas! We'll have to remember Soco Falls if we're passing through again. Yeah he knows some pretty awesome places that we would have never known about! I wish we had more mountainous waterfalls to explore in Florida but we love bouncing back and forth between the mountains and the ocean like you guys! Always great to hear from you!
How beautiful is that! Lived in Chattanooga all my life 60 years and I have never been to this place. Was this Rainbow Falls? Hiked and walked a lot in healthier times. Videos like yours allow me to still go virtually.
What a great place to live! As you know the hiking is wonderful! This is the hike off of Suck Creek Road on Signal Mountain. 😄
Very Cool! Beautiful with the water, waterfalls, caves….etc
Nice adventure!
We're always happy you love following along! There's so much to see! 😊
What an amazing hike, I've hiked all over the US and this is one of the coolest hikes I've seen! I'm moving to Chattanooga soon and cannot wait to have this just 15 minutes from me.
Oh my goodness, we're so excited for you! Chattanooga is such a fun city and so close to some amazing hiking! We also have some more videos on some great hikes near Chattanooga - Savage Gulf, Rock Island, and Cloudland Canyon just to name a few. Enjoy the journey!
@@PSAdventures Just rewatched your video, just landed here! I can't wait to try out this spot next weekend :) Thank you for all of your wonderful tips and the positive energy in your videos, you both are awesome!
@@itsdonnairene That's so exciting Donna!! Enjoy your trip and thank you so much for watching! We'll keep putting positivity into the world. Thanks for the love! 💕
Those views are simply breathtaking, enjoyed every moment of it! Fantastic upload folks!
Wow thank you so much for the love!! It's always an adventure when we embark on a trail not knowing what to expect and then ending up at a waterfall like this one. We're so happy you enjoyed our video! 💓
I subscribed...I love you guys energy!! And your love for nature and animals! Sarah is the cutest!! You would love the rivers in MO!! I hiked to waterfalls in the smokey mts. in NC...one of most peaceful places on earth is the mountains!!
Thank you SO MUCH for the love Michelle!! ❤️❤️❤️ Sarah is such a cutie. Hehe. 😊 We'd love to explore more of Missouri one day since I'm actually from there (Paul)! I moved to Florida when I was a kid so I'm basically Floridian but still love the mountains! We always feel at peace hiking in the mountains especially in the forest. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Keep up the good work love the van definitely something we're thinking about
The van has been a gamer changer when it comes to adventures! We're so excited to explore more places in the van. Thanks so much for the love Kerry! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice video. I visited there a couple of years ago and it is great scenery.
Thank you so much! It's such a lovely hike! 🥰
You guys always make great videos! Love this one since it is near my home town. I rarely get to that area anymore so this is a nice reminder of how beautiful it actually is. 😁
Thank you so much for the love Jennifer! Your home town is a beautiful area. If we lived there, I think we'd be out hiking and exploring every day! We only hope we did your home town justice of how beautiful it is! Always great to hear from you and hope you're doing well! 💓
@@PSAdventures Of course you did. Your videos are always great. My hometown is actually 50miles south of Chattanooga. If you're in that area again you may want to go a little farther south and check out Desoto Park and Little River Canyon just outside of Ft. Payne, Al, the Lookout Mountain area. That is definitely your kind of area, beautiful, unspoiled with plenty of hiking, wildlife and adventure for sure. This is where I grew up. Love those videos! Can't wait to see what's next.
We'll keep that in mind! Next up is tropical and one we've had in the queue to edit but have been waiting for it to come back around. It's wild! 😁
Dude you guys could have done it. I took my 12 year old daughter yesterday in a group. She loved it.
We definitely could have but we decided to stay back since there wasn't a lot of water running at the time because it wasn't the rainy season. Also it was hard to leave the waterfall! What a beautiful area!
19:28 That alone is worth the trip :O
Seriously! We didn't discover that hidden beautiful grotto until we were leaving. Wow! 😮
Did this for the second time ever, all the way to the rock slides. This is such a great spot, and wears you out. Super fun tho
That's so awesome! This was a great hike up to the pool area where it would be amazing in the summertime! We didn't make it up the rock slides since at the time we filmed this there wasn't much water up at the top. Thanks for sharing!
Do you happen to have exact location of this? I plan to go tomorrow
@@cherrmaus3852 from Chattanooga you take signal mountain blvd to Suck Creek Road. This is middle creek. It runs off of signal mountain. You will see concrete barriers on the right side of the road, which is where you will park. You can identify Middle Creek on google maps. Water levels may not be ideal tomorrow with the lack of rain. First time I went was way better than the second due to water flow.
Stop the video right there at the part where your brother is going all over the place that was awesome I can't do it but that was awesome
😂😂😂 Haha! What a great comment! Every time we watch that part it makes us laugh because it's just so epic! He was really enjoying himself on this hike.
I've been to some of the falls from the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, a freind that lives near Signal Point kindly informed me of the healthy amount of E. coli that makes it's way into this stream from all the houses on the mountain.
Oh wow! Definitely wouldn't want to be drinking water from any of those waterfalls unless it was heavily filtered. Thanks for letting us know! 😮
Going down had to be very scary.
When you're on the trail it's not as bad as it looks. We've had a few experiences where it looks scary but not as bad when you're actually experiencing it first hand. It's a pretty cool area though!
I’d camp out there by the waterfall
Whoah that would be cool. Probably cold though with the water and the cold rocks. I bet the sound could put you to sleep! It's a beautiful place! 😊
That's on suck creek Rd yes
You got it! That's where one of the locals took us. It's a cool hike!
@@PSAdventures ya just up the mountain more is rainbow falls ! I use to go there ever summer as a kid my family owned the river inn restaurant so I know all the spots. Now I love in Thailand 😂
So cool you know these waterfall hikes so well! Are you in Thailand now?! That's pretty far from Tennessee. 😆
Nice to see another adventure! (:
We are experiencing a heat wave here - hope you are having more pleasant weather wherever you guys are today! (:
I am dating someone from Caracas, Venezuela and we are thinking about going on an adventure there in the future! (:
Will you be going on any ocean adventures this year?
Anxiously awaiting my favorite tennis player's match - Carlos Alcaraz, 19 year old from Spain! (:
It's definitely very hot here too! We're back in Florida so we're feeling it! Are you learning to dance any salsa or bachata? We've had some really great friends from Venezuela that we dance with. Yes we'll be doing a lot more in Florida in our upcoming videos! We're ready for some more tropical water adventures again. Always great to talk to you Freeman! 💓
@@PSAdventures Yes, I have been trying to learn salsa! I am not all that great yet but maybe in time....
Looking forward to more tropical adventures on your channel!
👍🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the love Oscar!! 😊
Hi!! Do you happen to have exact location of this! Me and my boyfriend looking to do this tomorrow for our anniversary!
Happy anniversary! It's a great hike! It's on Signal mountain (shows up on Google maps) and it's a fairly hidden entrance along the highway/road. There's graffiti all along the concrete barrier on the side of the road, which marks the entrance.
When I looked this trail up on All Trails, it says it’s private property? Can you tell me the trail to take to get to the falls?
It's apparently a very popular trail with all the locals. We've heard some people say one of the trails to the waterfall is on private property but we're not sure where that is. All the locals go to the trailhead at the opening off of Suck Creek Road. That's all when know when we someone took us there. Hope that helps!
Sarah I love your hiking shoes at 02:49, what brand are they?
Hi! So they're Merrells and I love them! Wanted to mention they're pretty similar to the North Face that I had many years prior, so I think they'll work out great. Here's the exact model: amzn.to/3ooR34T
I get that you have to go off the trails and follow up stream before getting to the waterfalls, but what is the name of the hiking trail?
Thanks for the question Kong! We put the details in the description. It's called Middle Creek Trail right off of Suck Creek Road where there's parking and an opening off the highway. Hope that helps!
@@PSAdventures I found the trail on AllTrails thanks
UA-camrs are the ones that get our secret swimming holes bombarded by city folk and fence climbers that end up leaving trash everywhere.
I've lived here around Chattanooga area for 50 years and since UA-camrs they are 18 swimming holes us locals can not even go to anymore do to this.
I doubt our little channel will have any effect on anyone going there but we always try to be careful not to advertise places that really are secret and remote. This spot is well known in the Chattanooga area so I don't think anyone will be surprised. It's always nice to see more people going out and enjoying nature!
Since this is on private property, did you guys have to get permission from the owners, or what? I just don’t want to go to jail😂
That one was accessible right off of Suck Creek Road which was marked by some graffiti on an opening off of the public highway. I think there's another hike that's on private property so you'll have to look into that one. Not sure on the details since we had gone with a local! It's very popular though and always has cars parked there.
Is that rainbow falls
No I don't think this waterfall has a name. It's more of a local spot. The Rainbow Falls that we know is in the Smoky Mountain National Park.
