Amber's Den Trail

Amber's Den Trail is a 3.1-mile one-way trail in Scott's Gulf Wilderness State Park, Tennessee. It is rated hard, has a natural surface and is open to hiking. On the left, just before reaching Welch’s Point parking lot, there is a red gate which marks the beginning of the Amber’s Den Trail. The trail quickly descends into the Caney Fork Gulf (or Scott’s Gulf) to the river then following Big Laurel Creek upstream where it connects into the Hemlock Springs Trail near Big Laurel Falls. Amber’s Den Trail also passes by the “Amber’s Den Pool” in the river. On the opposite side of the river pool, you can vaguely see the cave that the hermit, Ambrose Davis lived in for decades.
