Rolling over a limestone shelf in the heart of Tennessee’s Eastern Highland Rim, Burgess Falls is a grand drop in a river that lives up to its name. The Falling Water River loses 250 feet of elevation in less than a mile, descending over a series of smaller falls in quick succession before arriving at the brink of Burgess Falls. Gorgeous views of the falls are easily reached along a trail that follows the river’s southern bank, culminating with a vista from above and access to the brink and the base.
