3. Fall Creek Falls
At 256 feet high, Fall Creek Falls is the standout on a crowded stage of waterfalls at Fall Creek Falls State Park. Less imposing are Piney Creek Falls, Cane Creek Falls, and Cane Creek Cascades, plus 345-acre Fall Creek Lake, and assorted streams, gorges, and pools. In a park comprising almost 30,000 acres, half of which is designated wilderness, all of these features literally shape the scenic reputation of the craggy Cumberland Plateau.
4. Bald River Falls
This is one of the most outstanding and accessible natural features in an area of spectacular beauty. A short walk up the Tellico River are Baby Falls. Be sure to pause on a large limestone rock and appreciate the visual sweep and roaring power of water at your toes. Combine a trip to Bald River Falls with a drive up the celebrated, mile-high, 43-mile-long Cherohala Skyway.
