Hike Description:
Overmountain Victory Trail starts at the kiosk, initially going through and open area across boardwalks and then into the woods. At 0.4 miles, the trail descends to the creek at some stairs at the base of the small waterfall.
It's a scenic little spot but not really worth going out of the way for. But if you're in the area, it's an easy and scenic little hike.
