A land-use permit is required to hike on any Georgia DNR properties.

This trail follows blue blazes, along a gravel access road. It travels about 0.3 miles up to a view, overlooking the falls. As you continue straight forward (along the road), the trail enters the woods. The trail climbs northward, then arcs right (along the ridge-top). It follows a road, then stays right (when the road turns left). It climbs up to the summit of High Point, then turns left. The trail descends southward to where The Brow turns off, then it turns right. The trail descends back to just above the Pocket Branch Falls.
