Submitted by andreatyrrell on Thu, 10/02/2025 - 08:52am
Description

The incredibly scenic, uphill Rabbit Creek Trail starts and ends with an ankle deep (or deeper depending on rain) water crossing. Creek rocks can be slippery! The trail is a winding journey straight up that connects to a variety of other trailheads (making this a great route for additional route variations to be added). The first junction will bring you to the peak point at the Hannah Mountain Trail. The trail is open year-round pending wildfire disruptions. This area of the Great Smoky National Park and Tallassee typically has limited or no cell service.
