If you were to ask me for the best waterfall hike in the Appalachian Highlands, I would tell you Laurel Fork Falls.
Lone Oak Trail
I’m always looking for a hike close to Johnson City, so I was pleased when I stumbled upon the Lone Oak Trail. The trail is located on the backside of Buffalo Mountain and gives hikers a different view from the mountain. You will eventually hike to Tip Top in Buffalo Mountain Park.
