In addition to it's rare beauty, Dale Hollow lake is known for its clear water, small mouth bass fishing, and the best marinas in Tennessee. Dale Hollow Lake is an amazing lake which expands over multiple counties and was voted #4 lake in the nation to "Float Your Boat" by USA today.


Burgess Falls cascades 130 feet into a deep gorge and can be viewed via a short trail from the state park's parking lot. The trail to deck overlooking the waterfall is approcimately 3/4 of a mile from the parking lot with another half a mile to reach the base of the falls, so a visit could be made in an hour and a half.


Cummins Falls was recently dedicated as the 54th State Park in Tennessee. It cascades 50 feet into one of the best swimming holes in the southeast. The hiking to the base of the falls was previously quite risky and mostly accessible to a younger more adventurous crowd, but work is currenlty underway to make this swimming hole and the falls accessible to all.
