Hemmed-In-Hollow Falls

From Compton Trailhead, follow the white HIH blazes down to Hemmed-in Hollow Falls; return uphill on the same trail. Do not take the yellow-blazed Sneeds Creek Trail.

NPS gives 2.5 miles from the falls back to the vehicle; doubling the same route gives approximately 5 miles return.

Rocky, uneven and very steep; approximately 1,400 feet of climbing on the return.

Where to start

From Harrison take Highway 43 south about 18.5 miles to Compton. Turn left onto the dirt road opposite the post office, continue 1 mile, then follow trailhead parking signs.

Timing & water

Listed year-round; recent rainfall determines flow.
