Fall hiking on the plateau, sorted by where you park.
Greeter Falls trailhead. The day loop is 1.4 miles, three waterfalls, a spiral staircase, and a rock scramble under the bluff. Blue Hole is on the same system if you want to swim.
Stone Door Ranger Station in Beersheba Springs. Stone Door Trail is under a mile each way and the first stretch is paved. Laurel Falls is a 25 foot waterfall three tenths of a mile behind the parking lot.
Savage Gulf East near Palmer. Savage Day Loop, 4.2 miles, easy, and you get Savage Falls.
Collins Gulf near Gruetli-Laager. Suter Falls and Horsepound Falls, rock shelters and high bluffs.
Grundy Forest in Tracy City. Two mile loop and one of the prettiest short hikes in the state.
Grundy Lakes. Easy walking, and the old coke ovens are right there.
Call the ranger station before you go, especially after rain.
I have a house listed 20 minutes from Greeter Falls and 15 from the Stone Door. 7.4 acres, creek that runs year round, sold furnished, approved for short-term rental. Link in bio.
