Tennessee State Natural Areas: Falling Water Falls

Falling Water Falls is a 110-foot waterfall on Little Falling Water Creek, where it drops off the Cumberland Plateau escarpment into Falling Water Gorge. It is in a Tennessee state natural area managed with Cumberland Trail State Park. A short trail from a small parking area leads to the falls and to a wide view of the Tennessee River Valley, Pickett Gulf and Buzzard Point from the top of the falls. The state page describes the view from the top; it does not describe a route to the base. Return the same way.
