Fall Creek Falls State Park

Fall Creek Falls is one of the highest waterfalls east of the Rocky Mountains, plunging 256 feet into a shaded pool at the base of its gorge.

May be reached using the Woodland Trail which begins behind the Nature Center at Fall Creek Falls State Park and crosses Cane Creek Cascades on a swinging bridge then leads up a set of steps to the Fall Creek Falls Overlook.

Directions:

The park is located in Bledsoe and Van Buren counties, 11 miles east of Spencer and 18 miles west of Pikeville.  It may be entered from Highway 111 or Highway 30.
