Tennessee State Parks: Fiery Gizzard hiking

Denny Falls is a double-drop cascade at the head of Denny Cove in the Denny Cove area of Fiery Gizzard State Park (formerly part of South Cumberland State Park). From the Denny Cove Trailhead, follow the Denny Cove Trail toward Denny Overlook, then take the Waterfall Trail, also called the Denny Falls Trail. Friends of the Parks describes a steep descent near the start, a junction where the climbers' spur to Buffet Wall bears left (keep right), then boulder fields with loose rocks and rough stone steps up to the base of the falls. Return the same way.
