Burgess Falls

Burgess Falls is the easiest way to experience some of the terrain that makes Tennessee so beautiful. The relatively easy, short trail follows along the river, starting from the old damn. Along the way, it passes several waterfalls, which gradually increase in size until culminating in Burgess falls, which roars with spring rain. From here there is an overlook of the falls, and a trail down to the river just above the falls. For the most adventurous, there is a trail that leads down to the base of the falls, though when the falls is flowing strongly, the way can be cold and slick. There are many classic Tennessee wildflowers along the trail in the spring, and beautiful colors on the trees in the fall. It is close enough to Fall Creek Falls to be combined with it in a busy day trip.
