Overview:
Tomkins Knob Hiking Trail is a good extra hike to add onto the Cascades Falls Trail at EB Jeffress Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This adds another .7 miles to the .9 mile waterfall loop. This was a good leg stretcher, very flat through the woods until you get to the beginning of the cascades trail. On the the trail you will enter a field where there is a very old mountain cabin that you can walk through and see how people lived in the mountains long ago.
Tips:
- Water bottle
- Regular shoes or sneakers would be fine for this hike
- Would recommend this hike to families with small kids
