Site Description: Stover Creek is one of 3 creeks that converge to form Noontootla Creek at a location known as Three Forks.

Special Information:The Appalachian and Benton MacKaye Trails share treadway along Stover Creek for a short distance NW of the convergence; cross a foot bridge over Chester Creek, the second of the three creeks, and, immediately thereafter Forest Service Road 58; then follow Long Creek, the third, about a mile NW, before diverging and taking different routes to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

These creeks are located in the heart of Forest Service Hemlock Conservation Area (HCA) 88, an approximately 1,100 acre stand of eastern hemlocks recently infested with hemlock wooly adelgids (HWA).The USDA Forest Service is conducting an HWA suppression effort there.
