Porters Creek is located in the Greenbrier section of the Smoky Mountains |
These steps once led to the Cantrell farmstead, only a few remnants remain |
A little further down the trail we found the Ownby Cemetery dating back to 1903 |
Smoky Mountain Hiking Club Cabin built 1934-1936 They used it until 1981 |
The cabin was built around an existing chimney of the Whaley house |
John Messer Barn built in 1875 |
An example of a double-cantilever barn, unique to East Tennessee |
Old Whaley Springhouse |
We were thankful for the bridges over Porters Creek |
The creek was really flowing |
These interesting fungi almost look like golf balls |
