Laurel Falls Trail Details
You'll find the path to Laurel Creek Falls at the parking lot at Fighting Creek Gap on Little River Road, 3.7 miles from the Sugarland Visitor Center. The four-mile Laurel Falls Trail is moderately steep, hugging a mountainside alongside an ever-steeper dropoff to the river valley before you reach the falls 1.3 miles in. Beyond the 75-foot falls the crowds thin out so you can continue your hike in relative solitude, or turn back here like most others do.
