Top 3 Waterfalls in Tennessee. Prettiest, easiest, & the tallest falls. No hiking required.

#twinfalls #baldriverfalls #fallcreekfalls
Did you know that Tennessee has more than 874 waterfalls? Many of them are on private property, but there are at least 80 inside State Parks for the public to view. I picked these 3 waterfalls because all of them are easy to view with minimal effort. These would be great for anyone with a disability, handicap, or someone with little ones. I know that it may be harder for some people to visit certain places, so I created a list of places that are easily accessible for anyone that wants to enjoy God's graceful earth, without the hike. The top 3 waterfalls: Twin Falls, Bald River Falls, and Fall Creek Falls are all wheel chair accessible to view from the top and are just a short distance from the parking lot. It can be more strenuous to get to the bottom of the falls. All of these places also offer hiking, trails, swimming holes, fishing, and more falls along the river. Read details about each waterfall below.
Tips for viewing waterfalls:
1. Don't park in the road. I've seen so many people's day get ruined when they come back from their adventure to a ticket on their windshield. Park in designated areas only. If there's nowhere to park, drive around until there is.
2. Don't litter. Every single person is there to enjoy that beautiful place. Trash looks terrible, destroys ecosystems, and wreaks havoc on the water systems. Bonus points if you pick it up!😉
3. Wear the right shoes. Flip flops are not recommended. A twisted ankle is a sure way to end your fun day.
4. If you decide to go exploring on your own, always let a loved one know exactly where you're going and when you'll be back. Keep your phone charged. Bring a whistle in case you lose service and you have a fall and can't get up.
5. Take a picture of the posted map. If you get turned around on a trail, this may come in handy.
6. Read the posted signs before you start and pay attention to your surroundings. You’re in nature, with wildlife all around you. Watch out for snakes, mountain lion, bear, etc.
About the top 3 Waterfalls:
1. Twin Falls at Rock Island State Park is the prettiest fall in Tennessee, in my opinion. There is a viewing deck right next to a parking lot and extra parking near the trails. The trails have been closed when I have visited there before, but you can still enjoy Twin Falls even if the trails are closed. It is possible to hike to the bottom of the falls by rock hopping. It’s accessibility all depends on the water levels. The Caney Fork River is dam controlled, so if you're down there and hear sirens, get to higher ground fast. The currents are strong here and not meant for swimming, but you can find a swimming hole off one of the trails. In the summer, you may be able to spot some kayakers performing flips and playing in the falls. That's always good entertainment! 😊 Check out this full video of Kayakers having fun here. • Kayakers at Twin Falls...

2. Bald River Falls in Cherokee National Forest tops my list as the easiest waterfall to view. It is currently closed for construction (Updated May 2024). News link: www.wvlt.tv/20... It can be viewed by just simply driving by it. There is a parking lot just past the bridge and it fills up fast. Arrive early for a good spot. The drive here is magnificent. Take your time and soak it in. It's just down the road from the Cherohala Skyway and Tellico Plains. Driving is the best way to see the beauty in this part of Tennessee. There are plenty of pull-offs and overlooks. Weekdays are the least busy, if you're trying to avoid a crowd.

3. Fall Creek Falls is the tallest waterfall in Tennessee at 256 ft. It is inside Fall Creek Falls State Park. This is one of the state's biggest and most visited parks. This place is our family's favorite weekend getaway spot. It offers RV camping, tent camping, cabins, a lodge, a swimming pool, visitor's center, nature center, and so much more. Plus, there are numerous waterfalls, swimming holes, and miles of trails.
