Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located in the Burgess Falls State Park near Sparta, the Burgess Falls are well worth a visit. There are a total of 4 very beautiful waterfalls in the park, the tallest of which cascades quite spectacularly over a 130ft precipice into the gorge. All four falls are located on the Falling Water River. The surrounding state park offers good scenic hiking along a moderate trial of around 1.5 miles. There are pleasant and shady spots to enjoy a picnic and fishing on the river is rumored to be very rewarding. While swimming is not allowed at Burgess Falls, visitors can access the base of the falls by kayak from the Cane Hollow Recreation Area.
