Length: 5.4 miles
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous
This enjoyable but active hike to the summit of Tatum Mountain, with
picturesque panoramic views, offers steep and rocky sections.
Beginning along the banks of Falls Branch, the loop trail quickly
breaks away to start its steady climb to the crest of Tatum Lead. Reaching
the mountain top, the trail merges with the Tatum Lead ORV Trail for a
short distance before looping back through oak and hickory forest to the
trailhead. Sections of the trail are steep and rocky.
