Im planning my first trip to the gorge next weekend. We will only be out over night. Does anyone have any suggestions on what trail to hike and where to camp? I would like to camp by the water?

Will add one thing ... if you don't have camping permits already for this weekend ... it's going to be near impossible to get them. Required for Friday and Saturday nights but also holidays so that'd be this entire weekend.
There are options to day hike and camp just outside the wilderness boundary.

Thanks for the help. We will be going the weekend after Memorial Day. Where do I get the permits?
Ken and Hawk-eye know their stuff when it comes to the Gorge. Hawk-eye lives there in a hollow tree and makes cookies on a DIY wood burning stove and on his down time carves elves out of sticks.

Might be easier to get but call them quick. You need one permit for 10 folks. Limited to three days two nights per visit. Call the Nebo USFS office they can mail or fax the permit to you 1-828-652-2144
Now don't be giving away all our secrets ... like pie and livermush!
Missed you last week Karl.

One of these days I need to get back over there. Guessing it has been 8 yrs since we camped and day hiked in the gorge
