Overview Hike 1.2 miles (1.9 km) roundtrip along a wide gravel roadbed that follows a mountain stream to a cascade surrounded by moss-covered rocks and mixed hardwood forest in Great Smoky Mountains National Park . After a half-mile walk along Twentymile Trail to the first junction, take Wolf Ridge Trail one hundred yards from the first bridge and look to your right for a foot trail that leads to the Twentymile Cascade. If you're up for more, you can continue on Wolf Ridge Trail to the Twentymile Loop Trail for a longer 7.6-mile (12.2-km) loop through one of the more remote areas of the Smokies known for its picturesque streams and shady hardwood forest. This longer loop includes narrower sections of trail with some muddy and rocky areas. Twentymile Trail is wider with fewer ups and downs than Wolf Ridge. Length 1.2 miles (1.9 km) roundtrip Parking & Trailhead Twentymile Trailhead at the end of the road just beyond Twentymile Ranger Station. Don't forget your parking tag .
