Cleveland Barrens/Tank Hollow Falls

We drove today to Cleveland, Virginia, a previously unheard of town, that lies East of St. Paul.  If you blink you will miss it, but it is a Clinch River town and home to Tank Hollow Falls.  There has been access to Tank Hollow Falls for quite a while, but recently the DCR set aside some land known as the Cleveland Barrens which includes Tank Hollow Falls.  There were improvements made to allow for handicapped access to Tank Hollow Falls, and a loop trail system installed with signage and trail blazes.  The trail I would rate as moderate, with some lengthy climbs, but it is in good shape.  There are a couple of picnic tables at the trailhead which we took advantage of after the warm September hike.
