Savage Day Loop offers hikers a good view of Savage Gulf and a good waterfall along this 4.6 mile relatively easy Tennessee trail. This would make a good winter hike with slightly better views along the canyon rim.

The trail begins next to the ranger station. Make sure to sign in and out of the visitor registration log at the beginning and end of your hike. The trail is well marked with white blazes and signs at every intersection. After a mile, the trail will split right and left, beginning the loop part of this lollipop. This description heads to the right.

Just short of another mile after the split, the North Rim Trail will branch off to the right. Stay straight. From here you'll be walking along the canyon rim. There's not much of a view until you get to Rattlesnake point where a plaque recognizes Samuel and Ellen Werner who originally bought and protected this land.

Continue on for another half mile to a short side trail to a view of Savage Falls. Shortly after this a large sign for the South Rim Trail points to the right, along with Savage Falls. Take this side trail .3 miles to Savage Falls, following the signs along the way. Here you get a better view of the falls, which can be just a trickle if it hasn't rained in a while. From here head back to where the South Rim Trail split off the main loop, then another 1.3 miles back to the ranger station to finish this hike out.
