should make the short side trip to enjoy this lovely view of the Cumberland River gorge at the Overlook. For millions of years the river has cut through the sandstone.
The trees and Mountain Laurel seem ready to tumble over this cliff at Fall Creek Falls. There is a waterfall near the cliff called Cane Creek Falls.
, located 18 miles west of Pikeville, TN and 11 miles east of Spencer, TN. The park has numerous spectacular waterfalls that plunge over the thick sandstone. The namesake, Fall Creek falls plunges 256 feet over the gorge. If we could travel back 325 million years ago, this sand would have been a beach.
