The Middle Prong Trail follows the Lynn Camp Prong for almost two miles, so we had plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the stream. This was our lunch break.

Much of the Smoky Mountains were logged prior to the formation of the national park. This car was left behind in an old logging camp in the Tremont area.

This is the Middle Prong of the Little River, at the trailhead for the Middle Prong Trail in the Tremont area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

This is the first photo I took on our recent trip. We hiked from here to Indian Flats Falls, an eight mile hike round trip -- and well worth it. This was my first time on this trail, and it was a pleasant surprise. The trail follows an old railroad bed for most of the way, so the path is wide with a relatively gentle slope. The Lynn Camp Prong is in view for most of the way, too, with lots of small cascades and mossy boulders.
