If you go in the west entrance, take the 1st little side trail to the right (SW) both times to see the falls on Double Knob Gap Branch and Frolictown Creek. If you keep going down the main trail just a little farther, you can catch the great view in the above photo. If I have my bearings right, that's Big Green Mountain on the right and Little Green Mountain in the middle left, and Cold Mountain to the left and behind that. Back to the waterfalls - that little side trail is easy to follow and comes out on a little bald near the branch. The trail picks up down the side closest to the branch and has a few little side trails to get a peek. On one of my last visits, there was a forest service flag indicating there may be a viewing platform in the future.

The falls on Double Knob Gap Branch is probably about 60-70' high and flows over some banded rock. If you are following on the map, the trail continues down and picks up Frolictown Creek which will be on the right. There are a couple of side trails not shown on the map, but this one intersects with one of the main trails. At this point, Frolictown Creek Falls can be heard directly across the path.

It's only about 10' high, but it's in a nice cozy setting. From here, you can get back on the main trail, follow it west for just a bit, then take another side trail to the right until it crossed Panthertown Creek. There are 2 choices from here, follow the trail NE down the creek to Granny Burrell Falls, or stay south and towards the only shelter and other camp sites up Panthertown Creek.

That shot is from the back side of the shelter and there are a several other nice camp sites nearby. Back on the trail, the 200-300' wall of Big Green Mountain looms to the left through the trees. The leaves were just beginning to bud out on this visit, so I had a good view. Just a little way past the shelter, a side trial heads to the left towards the wall for a better view.

The trail up Panthertown Creek is about a mile and is flat, easy hiking. The creek is to the right, but isn't really visible through the trees. The trail then crosses a smaller branch and takes a hard left 350' up to the ridge of Big Green Mountain. Turning right will head towards Greenland Creek, left heads uphill to the summit of the mountain. Along the way are a few side trails to the left that will give a limited view of the valley below and Goldspring Ridge straight ahead.

The main trail up here gets to a fork - stay to the right (NE) to steeply descend 400' to another main trail. Left heads towards Granny Burrell Falls, right will take you towards a trail up to Little Green Mountain.
