Trail VisibilitySometimes hard to follow
White Oak Sinks is a Moderately rated 4.6 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail. There is a waterfall and Bat Caves along the way. It's great for all skill levels. Can be hard to follow, take your time. Follow "No Horse" sign for direction.
FYI, at roughly 1.9 miles in, take a right and head to the Waterfall, does not show on map but a trail does lead there. Double back and continue to the Caves.
