Access Info: Park at the trailhead for the BMT where FS road 816 meets GA 60 (Tooni Gap). From there, take the BMT North towards Wallalah Mountain for 0.71 miles. At this point (34.77273, -84.15927) there will be an old forest service road (Little Skeenah Road) about 75 feet off trail from the BMT on your right side! You will leave the BMT at this point and continue your journey to the east along Little Skeenah Road. When you have reached the old logging road (in approximately 75 feet), you will notice a very pronounced path at (34.77272, -84.15899). Take a left onto this path (Little Skeenah Road) and continue. You will stay on this path for the next 2.0 miles. The old logging road you’re on will pass over Little Skeenah Creek at 1.72 miles (2.43 total). Keep going on this logging road for another 0.28 miles and you will eventually run into a tributary at these coordinates: 34.77262, -84.13604. At this point, leave the logging road and follow this tributary upstream for 0.1 miles to Morgan Branch Falls.
