About Wolf creek Falls Trailhead

Wolf Creek Falls rewards determined hikers with stunning scenery, but getting there is half the challenge. The waterfall itself consistently earns praise as "absolutely beautiful" and "worth it," but nearly every visitor emphasizes the difficulty of simply finding the trailhead. Access from the North Carolina side via Upper Shut In Road is significantly easier than the Tennessee approach, which involves poorly marked, rough roads that have left some visitors unable to locate the trail at all.
