I'd like to get to Big South Fork someday. They have beautiful gorges there, including the South Fork of the Cumberland River as it cuts through the Cumberland Plateau. Supposed to be a really awesome place to hike. Knoxville, TN would be a killer city to live in. Smokies to the south and Big South Fork to the North, Roan to the East and Frozen Head and Fall Creek Falls to the west.

Charit Creek Lodge is in western part Big South Fork National River and Reacreation Area just south of the Kentucky state line. From State Route 154 turn right on Divide Road, then right on Fork Ridge Road to the Charit Creek Trail Head. From the trail head it about 1 mile to Charit Creek Lodge.

Ya.. Charit Creek Lodge is in Big South Fork.. which is between Oneida and Jamestown TN.

Katibug got confused, or typed it in wrong.

hey arseholes....
West By God Virginia is my home state...and until you've been there shut yer piehole.

Charit is indeed in BSF. Site of the now infamous TC2.

Also...its a great river to run. There will be a private (that means NOT you) river trip there in October. Real Canoeists ONLY.

I'm such a snob.

Sorry, folks, I hit the wrong state! Am going to have to reschedule this trip because I didn't receive payment from people in time for the reservation due date.
