Saturday, December 4 We had four members of the Greeneville Club and three visitors from Kingsport for the 8.5 mile search for Painter Creek Falls on the Greene/Washington County line. The group started from the Cassi Creek Trailhead and hiked up an old logging road requiring about ten creek crossings, then crossed a ridge on switchbacks while continuing on the old road to the falls. The last section required bushwhacking through solid rhododendron and a steep descent to the base of the falls. Everyone agreed that the hike was well worth the effort and found Painter Creek Falls to be one of the most impressive in the area.

The Forest Service has recdntly improved the parking lot at the trailhead and, after our Sunday work trip, the trail is in much better shape and easier to follow than anytime before the floods of 2001. The trail will still involve a little climbing and rockhopping and a careful negotiation of some undercut trail banks. Please find time to check out this Beautiful Greene County Trail and Waterfall.
