Middle Tennessee, TN

Travel Guide

Short and sweet hike with huge payoffs. The extra effort to the bottom of the falls is well worth it. #hiking
This is one of my favorite camping spots in TN. Camp is just below Big Laurel Falls.  It is approx 2.5 mile hike to the camp spot and another 2 miles to Virgin Falls.
Amazing waterfall with a blue hole for swimming located near Stone Door in Gulf Savage State Park. Nice hike but was a little tricky after a recent ice storm. Hike a little further up and there's another set of falls and a swinging bridge. All this found in the Cumberland Gap in TN, believed to be created from a meteor a bazillion years or so ago!
Boat ride under that bridge!!
Rock Island State Park has a lot to offer. Camping, trails, and waterfalls. This waterfall is off of the old waterfall trail. It is about a half mile into the trail. The State park has a number of waterfalls this being one of the smaller ones. I don't think it has a name and also think you have to go after some rain to see it like this.
