This hike is short, though it is also steep and can get rocky. There are also many other trails to explore in Winding Stairs Park. This loop is perfect for families or anyone looking for an easy and quick hike with some beautiful waterfall and creek views. The Winding Stairs Loop trail is located near Lafayette, TN. Small creeks, mini waterfalls, and a thick grove of Mountain Laurel trees can be found on the opposite side of the bridge. The swinging bridge is a great destination for trout fishing (particularly in the spring during spawning season) due to its proximity to the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery, which is also open to visitors. The coolest thing about it is the bridge itself-it’s the longest suspension bridge east of the Mississippi, and goes directly over the Toccoa river.
