What a gem in the Soddy Daisy area! I spent a long weekend on Lake Chickamauga (a COVID vacation) with my husband, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law, and we tried to find a great hike to do each morning within our hour of our lake rental. Big Soddy Creek Gulf came up in my research, and I'm so glad it did! The basics: Big Soddy Creek Gulf consists of an approximately 5-mile out-and-back trail along the creek. (I say approximately, because our Fitbit and Apple Watch trackers thought it was a little less than five miles total.) You're along the water the whole time, and it's beautiful and soothing (the sound of little mini falls throughout!). But the thing that makes this trail so unique and wonderful? Along the creek and trail, there are multiple natural swimming holes! We passed the first swimming hole within a quarter mile or so and another not too long after that. Both of those swimming holes had a family or two already set up with picnics or swimming (we were hiking around 11 am on a Monday in August), so we decided to take the trail to its end and see if we passed any other swimming holes. And we did! At the end of the trail, there was a large, beautiful swimming hole without a soul there! So we ate our packed lunches on the rocks by the water and then got in (got in - not jumped in - because it's rocky and slippery) for a quick (and cold - it's spring fed creek water after all!) swim! The hike is pretty easy throughout, although there is an area where a bridge has collapsed and you have to make your way over without it. The last quarter mile of the hike is probably the most strenuous - lots of large boulders and a bit of climbing, but it's easy overall! There are picnic tables and porta potties scattered along the trail (there are two porta potties in the parking lot before you start the trail as well). There is a large parking area at the trail head. When we arrived, there were lots of parked cars, but the trail wasn't crowded (granted, we did hike the trail on a weekday). We saw some other people, but most people stopped at one of the first few swimming holes or were walking dogs along the beginning of the trail. We only saw one or two people past the halfway point of the trail. A hike and a swim at Big Soddy Creek Gulf was exactly what I needed this week. It was beautiful, and I left feeling refreshed. I recommend it if you're in the area and enjoy a swim in a natural swimming hole!
