Piney Creek Falls - Fall Creek Falls State Park

Fall Creek Falls State Park is Tennessee's largest and most popular park. Located in Bledsoe and Van Buren counties, the park is accessible from TN 30 and TN 111. The park is about a two hour drive from both Nashville and Knoxville and about 1½ hours from Chattanooga. TN 284 bisects the park and connects to TN 30 north of the park and TN 111 south of the park.

After several days of rain in February 2018, I took a day trip to the park to see the waterfalls. One waterfall I had not seen before was 75 foot high Piney Creek Falls. It is located on the Scenic Loop Road in the northwestern part of the park. This portion of the park has never been logged. A short, but steep trail leads from the paved parking area at the end of the road to an obstructed view of the falls. Signage at the trailhead notes:

Powerful and remote, Piney Creek Falls is the park's most beautiful waterfall to many visitors. 

Having viewed the falls, I tend to agree with the sentiment.
