Driving Directions:
From the Intersection of Hwy 411 and Hwy 64 head east on Hwy 64 for 7 miles.
Turn LEFT onto Oswald Road and stay on Oswald Road for about 7.5 miles.
Turn RIGHT into the Chilhowee Recreation Area drive 1/2 mile on this road.
Then bear LEFT into the parking area near the trailhead for Benton Falls
Hiking Directions:
From the parking area walk toward McKamy Lake.
There are two ways to hike to Benton Falls from this area.
One way goes clockwise. I have only hiked it counter clockwise so that is the description I will give.
Cross the dam that impounds McKamy Lake with the lake on your right.
Enter the woods just past the lake and bear left following the signs for Benton Falls.
The hike distance to the falls is about 1.5 miles on a wide, easy grade.
