The following day we returned to the park to do the White Oak Canyon trail which features a few waterfalls the trail and takes you to about 1,585 feet elevation.

We started in the parking lot and continued down the trail which intersects with a gravel trail which features benches, which makes it easy for handicapped individuals to see the trails.

This trail features a great lookout over the waterfall and canyon where we stayed for a while to relax. The trail finished all the way through ends at Weakley Hollow Road. There are a variety of epic rock formations and the trail is laden with steps made out of logs. There are also three bridges constructed to cross over waterways!

In this area be prepared to be surrounded by heavy fog as the day progresses which I though made it pretty cool!

On our way we found the another remnant of the mythical Smokey John, his pipe! Needless to say we left it where it lay.
