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.


The bluff line stands 75 feet above the highway and on a clear day you can see the historic town of Sparta nestled in the valley below, along with a view of approximately 50 miles of breathtaking Tennessee countryside, including four counties.


The scenic beauty and tranquility of this state park is dominated by the Great Falls of the Caney Fork River- an imposing limestone gorge that provides scenic overlooks, waterfalls and deep pools for fishing, rock-hopping and exploring.


A paradise of more than 20,000 acres sprawled across the eastern top of the rugged Cumberland Plateau, Fall Creek Falls State Park is one of the most scenic and spectacular outdoor recreation areas in America.
