Sparta, TN

We stayed at Whispering Falls RV Park for three nights and in between the rain we were able to hike to waterfalls. The park is adjacent to Brurgess Falls State Park and we walked into the park from our RV site. It was an easy hike to the falls, of which there were several. The next day we considered going to Cummins Falls State Park but it was a strenuous and a potentially dangerous hike over wet rocks and through a river, some pictures on the website show the water waist high. We had a significant amount of rain the night before and days leading up to it so it sounded a bit treacherous. I then found on the website that the park was closed due to the rain. Instead we drove an hour to Fall Creek Falls State Park and hiked about 4 miles around several water falls. The largest one is 256 feet and one of the largest falls in the eastern half of the US. The gorge surrounding it was beautiful and there was a second thin waterfall next to it. The hike down and back up was a bit more rugged that the day before but definitely worthwhile. We saw several other falls during the hike. On the way back we stopped at a small restaurant in Sparta for lunch/dinner, it was meh. I ordered a salad and it was mostly lettuce.もっと詳しく
