- **Event Name**: ETHO Group Hike - White House Cliffs Trail and White Oak Flats Overlook
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Join us for the East Tennessee Hiking &amp; Outdoors March Group Hike!

This hike will take place in Rocky Fork State Park outside of Flag Pond, TN. We will meet at the Rocky Fork Parking Area here: https://share.google/w8YYCwOS12DVSN00b. We will meet at 10:00AM and start hiking no later than 10:15AM.

We will be hiking the White House Cliffs Trail with an optional second hike up to the White Oak Flats Overlook. The total length of the hike is just over 4.5 miles with about 1400 feet of elevation gain. If you only want to do the White House Cliffs Trail, it's about a 2 mile hike with about 930 feet of elevation gain.

The White House Cliffs Trail is a strenuous trail with a decent amount of steady elevation gain all the way up until the White House Knob, which is the halfway point of this trail. The trail features 360 degree views of Sam's Gap and the Rocky Fork Watershed. The hike up to the White Oak Flats Overlook is a moderate trail with a few decent inclines along the way. The White Oak Flats Overlook features incredible mountain views, as well as the best view of the White House Cliffs in the whole park. We will hike at a moderate to slow pace and this is a "no drop" hike (meaning we will go at the pace of the slowest hiker) with breaks throughout. 

Make sure to bring plenty of water, snacks, lunch to enjoy somewhere along the trail, sturdy footwear, and dress appropriately for the weather. Rocky Fork State Park tends to be colder than the areas around it, so keep that in mind. I expect this hike to take around 3-4 hours to complete.

Friendly pets are allowed on the hike, but must be kept on leashes. Children are allowed on this hike, but keep in mind that the hike is approximately 4.5 to 5 miles of rocky, muddy, strenuous terrain, so children should be experienced hikers if they attend.
