I took this very nice hike with the Plateau Chapter of Tennessee Trails Association, out of Crossville. Thankfully, I was not asked to drive, as some of the "road" was less than acceptable. It's a fairly easy trail to hike, with lots of lovely views of Clear Fork Creek. We had lunch, when we reached the cars at the end of the hike. After that, we bravely made our way across the Burnt Mill Bridge, which was quite a challenge. One intrepid hiker was calling for her husband, because she was so scared. Some of the holes in the original planking of the bridge were large enough to swallow her, and it was a long way down to the river. In all fairness, I'd have to say that a lot of planking had been added, perpendicularly, to the original planking, but it still was more than iffy to cross. After leaving the Big South Fork, we took a ride through Rugby, a very small, and quaint, British settlement.
