Ozone Falls

From the US 70 parking-area kiosk, take the path right, parallel to the highway for about 200 feet, then descend into the gorge to the bottom of the falls. Return to the same parking area.

The conservancy’s 200 feet is only the initial path beside US 70. TDEC describes a 0.75-mile trail continuing to Renfro Creek with backtracking; that is not a stated waterfall-only return distance.

Rocky gorge descent and stonework. TDEC describes the natural-area trail as rugged.

Where to start

Signed Ozone Falls State Natural Area lot beside US 70, about four miles east of the I-40 Crab Orchard exit. Conservancy reports room for 6–8 vehicles.

Timing & water

TDEC lists public access from sunrise to sunset as checked October 27, 2026.
