This hidden paradise has a waterfall that used to have a mill on it in the early 1900's. There are cliffs on each side of the creek making it the perfect spot for serene relaxation. Following upstream is an assortment of spots to pitch a tent. The most notable sites are surrounded by hemlock tree's and is peaceful when birds chirp over the small rapids echoing from the large overhang
\*I am in the process of making multiple sites but until I do so it is first come first serve. There are multiple sites at main campsite and along creek, I've had a private event of thirty people staying at once. There are also smaller spots next to waterfall, uphill near cliff and I've had people go below falls for some complete wilderness (blocked by gorge and waterfall). With this being said, I do offer private bookings and accommodate special events!
\*I travel for work, so I won't always be here, but I will send directions and details after confirmation and make sure all is savvy during. Please be respectful to one and another and let me know asap if any issues arise but truthfully everyone has been amazing and I thoroughly enjoy meeting and getting to know everyone!
It's such a pretty stroll through the mountains. Whether you go just for the overlooks or down the trails, you're guaranteed to see some amazing views. The hike down to the falls is less than a mile but very strenuous, with most of the trail being slanted rocks kinda like steps. We have been in a drought, so the water was not flowing like normal. They have shops, snack bar, pool, and other activities within the park as well.
Went there to see the FALL LEAVES fall but they had already fallen. We were blown away at how much damage a horrific tornado did to the park three months ago BUT more blown away at how quickly things are getting back to normal! We stayed in the Lodge and highly recommend it!!! Everyone that we encountered were so nice and helpful. Even the food in the restaurant for lunch and dinner was great! Breakfast was a continental breakfast but probably the worst we’ve ever been to. I would have paid for a good country breakfast but understood they are still understaffed. Ask for Room 317 - fabulous!! The state park is huge but very easily mapped. We definitely are going back♥️
One of the best places to visit in TN. You won’t find many more beautiful places to Covid in TN than FCF. My wife and I have been going there multiple times a year for over 30 years. We camp, golf, fish, hike, bike, swim, play pickle ball, nap, kayak & this year we did their lake nature tour. Great for the whole family and they’ve recently completed the new lodge and welcome center and they’re amazing. You should definitely plan to spend a few days but a day trip is totally worth it as well.
From the variety of falls being mostly during our November visit to really great flowing falls this trip in February. We loved it both times but water flowing is always better. We also went on on Rocky Point. Very tough to get to if you're older or not in good shape but we did it and it was invigorating!
