(Guest River Gorge, Chief Benges Scout, and Little Stony Falls Trails).  
  

## Natural Features

The nearby Guest River Gorge is full of scenic beauty, native flora and fauna,
as well as historic features. The Guest River Gorge can easily be explored by
hiking or biking a 5.8-mile trail built upon an old railroad grade. The trail
follows the Guest River as it meanders through 8 branches and creeks and
terminates at the Guest River's confluence with the Clinch River. The first
0.3-miles is handicap accessible. This scenic trail passes through riparian
forest, 300-million year old cliff lines and sandstone outcrops, and remnants
of the railway that once ran through this region to haul locally-mined coal
and saltpeter. An abundance of wildlife is easily viewable along this trail.
Migratory birds such as flycatchers, several species of warblers and tanagers
can be found during the summer. The Guest River Gorge is an easy way to
explore the rugged beauty of this mountainous area. Little Stony Creek flows
through a 400-ft deep and 1,700-ft wide gorge. Large rock outcrops, ledges,
and boulders add to the scenery along the creek. Hardwood and hemlock forest
cover much of this area. Mountain laurel and rhododendron thickets lace the
edges of these trails in many areas, as well. A popular destination on the
district is Little Stony Falls, a 24-foot waterfall, along with two smaller
waterfalls. The falls can be seen from walking the Little Stony National
Recreation Trail. The trail is a 2.8-mile trail which goes from an upper
trailhead (near the falls) and a lower trailhead at Hanging Rock Picnic Area.
In some areas of the trail, hikers will need to climb around/over boulders and
large rocks to remain on the trail. Sightseers, hikers and birdwatchers will
all equally enjoy a visit to this area. Be sure to check with the local Ranger
Station for trail conditions. Storm events and hazards may result in trails
being closed.
