The Journey
Cumberland Plateau
Venture into the rugged and beautiful Cumberland Plateau, a sprawling upland region known for its dramatic gorges, lush forests, and stunning waterfalls. This area, formed over millions of years, offers a diverse landscape perfect for hiking and exploration. The initial 2.5-hour journey eastward from Nashville sets the stage for a day immersed in the natural wonders of Tennessee, far from the city's hustle and bustle. It’s a prelude to the challenging yet rewarding hikes ahead.
Cane Creek Cascades
Begin your adventure at Cane Creek Cascades, a mesmerizing waterfall system where the waters of Cane Creek tumble down 45 feet of rocky bluffs. A short walk from the parking lot leads to an observation deck and nature center, providing accessible views of the cascades. For a closer experience, a steep trail descends to the creek bed, allowing you to feel the cool mist and hear the rushing water. Spend 30-45 minutes immersed in this natural amphitheater before continuing your journey across the suspended bridge.
Cane Creek Suspension Bridge & Overlook
Experience the thrill of crossing the Cane Creek suspension bridge, a 120-foot-long structure suspended 20 feet above the churning rapids below. This exhilarating crossing leads to a 0.75-mile hike along the gorge rim to the Cane Creek Falls Overlook. From this cliffside vantage point, marvel at the breathtaking views of the 85-foot-tall Cane Creek Falls and the towering 120-foot Rockhouse Falls. The overlook offers a perfect spot to capture stunning photographs and appreciate the grandeur of the gorge.
Fall Creek Falls Overlook
Continue your gorge rim adventure for another 1.25 miles towards the crown jewel of Fall Creek Falls State Park: Fall Creek Falls. At the famous overlook, witness the spectacle of the 256-foot Fall Creek Falls and its neighboring Coon Creek Falls at 250 feet. These magnificent waterfalls are among the tallest east of the Mississippi River, boasting sheer vertical drops that will leave you in awe. Take ample time to soak in the panoramic views and appreciate the raw power of nature.
Base of Fall Creek Falls Trail
Embark on a challenging descent to the base of Fall Creek Falls via a steep and rocky half-mile trail. This strenuous trek drops over 300 feet, navigating uneven and slippery rocks. The reward is unparalleled: an up-close view of Fall Creek Falls, where you can feel the mist and hear the thunderous roar of the water crashing into the pool below. Be prepared for a demanding climb back up the same trail, making this a true test of endurance and a highlight of the adventure.
Forest Trail & Cane Creek Bridge (Return)
Conclude your adventure with a relaxing forest trail that loops back to the nature center parking lot. This scenic path offers a chance to reflect on the day's experiences as you meander through the woodlands. The trail includes a second crossing of the Cane Creek suspended bridge, providing another opportunity to enjoy the views and sounds of the creek. It’s a fitting end to a day filled with breathtaking landscapes and invigorating hikes.
