I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life,

and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

-Henry David Thoreau

This trip is really spectacular.

Includes:  Short Hikes, Swim options, Waterfalls, River, Creeks, History / Abandonment, Picnic Spots, Immersion to experience all of it!

  • In this version of the excursion, we are focused much more on gentle hiking and swimming (or touring if swim is not of interest).   Much more gentle version of the rigorous hike and swim that included Kennedy Falls.

  • Spring / Summer / Fall only during non-snow and non-ice conditions.

  • This excursion is great during dryer / warmer months in summer when many waterfalls dry up... but not these waterfalls or swim holes fueled by the Blackwater River.

  • We will also stop at the Douglas (Coketon) coke ovens along the way for a bit of history of Douglas and the coal era of Thomas's past.

  • As your guided tour guide, I will show you the best perspectives, hidden trails, stunning landmarks and scenery that you may miss on your own.
