7. Greeter Falls
It’s a rock scramble for some, but two falls on one trail justify the effort. From the Greeter Falls parking area, take the moderate one-mile round-trip hike to the Upper Falls and Greeter Falls. Watch your footing and wear sturdy shoes for a trail with steep drop-offs, exposed roots, and slippery rocks.
8. Blue Hole Falls
Blue Hole Falls, located in the northeast corner of Tennessee, is smaller than other waterfalls on our list but extraordinarily stunning. It’s 30 by 40 feet and emerges from a spectacular pour-off flanked by cliffs as high as 50 feet. Rhododendrons contribute to the lush setting and are best seen when blooming in the spring. The blue «hole» at the base of the falls is ideal for a refreshing dip in the summer.
