Fall Creek Falls State Park covers about 29,800 acres of gorges and woods on the Cumberland Plateau, with the 256-foot Fall Creek Falls, Tennessee's highest waterfall, as its centerpiece. Seven signature waterfalls sit along its trails, among them Cane Creek Falls. The Betty Dunn Nature Center gives access to the park's suspension bridge, and you can stay over in the lodge, cabins or campgrounds or play the 18-hole golf course.
