Highwater Trail

Highwater Trail is a 2.15-mile one-way trail in Scott's Gulf Wilderness State Park, Tennessee. It is rated moderate, has a natural surface and is open to hiking. This trail is an alternative route into Dog Cove Historic Area when heavy rains can flood the valley. This shady trail climbs the hillside of the cove winding through a hardwood dominated forest, such as young Tulip Poplar trees and some large old PawPaw trees with a few springs dotting the trail. In the spring, look for the numerous wildflowers. Listed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (Tennessee State Parks).
