VersaillesKy,

I think you are right. If you are moving south along Hazel Creek, you'll just bear left at Proctor and loop back around along the Lakeshore Trail. The trail discussed up the thread...

I think an exploratory expedition is in order just to be sure, Old Tom. I'll need enough sherpas to portage gear and 10 cases of Shiner Bock.

Don Kirk's "Fly Fishing Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains" (book, not DVD) is a good one, too. It's been around awhile but it covers the bases for about every watershed in the park.
