Keown Falls
Chattahoochie Natl Forest
Located Near: 21 Miles west of Dalton, Ga / 35 miles S.W. of Chattanooga, TN
Intersects: Pinhotti Trail for 2miles
Length: approx 5miles
STRENUOUS for the first mile, MODERATE for remaining 4miles. (900ft elevation gan in first mile or so)
On Wednesday June 18, 2014 I went to Keown Falls with the Chattanooga Hiking Club. It was a great hike, with a beautiful low flowing waterfall at the halfway point. The trail goes right thru the cave under the waterfall, so You can sit on giant rocks while staying dry and looking out thru the water.
