Briefly about the general area: When you're here at White Oak Creek it's always
fun to explore Pickett State Park, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Hidden Passage Trail. Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! The Cumberland Plateau Mountains is peerless! No need to travel far to take
a look at attention-grabbing stuff like Meeting Bend; the Ridge Trail offers hiking at its best. This river is a wonderful place to visit. Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area is a good national park; if you're here, you might as well pop by Polecat Hollow.
