Falling Water Falls State Natural Area995 Falling Water Trail, Walden, TN 37377Get directions →

A 110-foot waterfall on Little Falling Water Creek, dropping over the Cumberland Plateau's sandstone cap, plus a commanding view of the Tennessee Valley from the same short trail. One of the more dramatic stops on this list — and one of the most parking-constrained.

Photography tip: go early, both for light and because the 3-space lot fills fast; the waterfall itself is best after rain.

Parking is limited to 3 vehicles at the small lot — don't park along the street, cars get towed. Open sunrise to sunset only. Short trail to the falls and a wide Tennessee Valley view over Pickett Gulf and Buzzard Point.
