Midnight hole - Big Creek GSMNP
This is a great hike anytime of the year. The trail is an old railroad bed and has a gradual incline. It runs next to Big Creek, so you will hear water most of the time.
The are numerous cascades besides the Midnight Hole (a great swimming spot) and Mouse Creek Falls. About a quarter mile past the Mouse Creek Falls is a wide bridge that goes over Big Creek. There is a nice flat area near this bridge that is a great area to have lunch or a snack.
This trail gets very busy in the summer.
