I recently hiked the Middle Prong Trail from the end of Treemont Road to the junction with the Panther Creek Trail.

To describe the trail, most would probably classify it as moderate in difficulty, and it is wide enough for four to five people to walk side by side on most of it.
About half a mile up the trail is a spectacular cascade called the Lynn Camp Prong Cascade…
