Head to a less-visited waterfall near Gatlinburg. Follow the Baskins Creek Trail over a ridge with views, then drop to aptly named Falls Branch. Make a side trip to a pioneer cemetery, then pass a homesite before reaching Baskins Falls as it tumbles over a wide bluff. Note: The forest along this hike was affected by the Chimney Tops 2 fire of 2016.
This waterfall walk is best in spring, when Falls Branch is at its boldest. It can also be good in winter, when Baskins Falls freezes. In winter, Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail will be gated, but you can simply walk around the gate to access the trail.
