Fall Creek Falls State Park, Tenn.

As Tennessee’s largest and most visited State Park Fall Creek Falls presents visitors with a long outdoor to-do list. The waterfall which the park is named after stands at 256 feet and is one of the tallest in the eastern U.S. Within the park’s perimeters you’ll find three more impressive falls, more than 34 miles of hiking trails, an interactive nature center, and an 18-hole golf course. “It’s just one breathtaking waterfall after another. Incredible hiking, caving and a great lake with fishing cabins and a great lodge,” says Delaware State Parks Director Raymond E. Bivens. Overnight visitors can book a room in the Fall Creek Falls Inn and more adventurous travelers can take advantage of the park’s cabins and campsites. For those who really like to rough it, backcountry camping is also available with permit. tnsstateparks.com
