Is Fall Creek Falls near Nashville…? Well, not precisely. It’s about two hours away, but with the way Tennessee’s varied geography works, you have to run about ninety minutes outside of the city to hit a waterfall anyway. And a frozen waterfall?!?! That’s worth seeing. We’ve found a couple of shots that truly exemplify the beauty of Tennessee’s topography, giving Nashvillians a solid place to road trip during the winter. Are you in?
Michael Hicks - Flickr Known for hiking opportunities as well as their wonderful waterfalls, Fall Creek Falls is widely traversed during the warmer months and beckons to the more experienced hiker during the chill.
Tim Lumley - Flickr And here we go - the masterpiece of the park. There is also a Fall Creek Falls Waterfall Tour that is held every winter and through the spring and summer, highlighting the awesome hugeness of their frozen and icy falls. As the largest and most visited state park in the state, Fall Creek Falls has a lot to live up to.
Michael Hicks - Flickr Did you know there are more than fifty miles of hiking and biking trails in the park? There are. Enough to keep you busy, you think?
Tim Lumley - Flickr The falls don’t completely freeze - they do become heavy with ice, the freeze almost but not quite overwhelming the heft of the fall water. Some smaller waterfalls may be frozen completely, although it’s not extremely popular.
J. Stephen Conn - Flickr Would you ever go on a waterfall tour in the dead of winter? Maybe wander the quiet winter wonderland of the park…?
Tim Lumley - Flickr The actual waterfall here measures in at 256 feet. This isn’t a joke - we’re looking at the magnificent real deal, here. It is one of the highest waterfalls in the eastern United States, and is joined by others in the park as well - Piney Falls, Cane Creek Cascades and Cane Creek Falls. They’re all included in the waterfall tour, as well.
Beautiful. Positively beautiful. Do you have your wintry visit all planned…?
