Dick Gap

Catawba Overlook

Dick Gap

Big South Fork National Recreation Area

Kentucky

 

The early morning fog had finally decided to burn off. After arriving at the Dick Gap Overlook at 7 a.m. waiting for sunrise, fog had enshrouded the whole area. After waiting for an hour and a half with still no fog lifting we headed out to the Jeep where we decided to offroad to a junction that took you to a wet weather falls called Dick Gap Falls and the Catawba Overlook. The jeep got stuck and it took us about an hour to unstuck it. So we took the Jeep back to the parking lot and then we hiked to Catawba overlook and we arrived just as the fog was lifting. The Catawba overlook not only overlooks Dick Gap but you can also see old mining bridge of The Blue Heron Mining Community. BTW if you decide to hike to Dick Gap Falls be sure there's been plenty of rain.
