With a love of nature, deep gorges, and deep music roots fueling it, the town of Sparta has a small-town atmosphere and is a unique Tennessee destination. While countless travelers have passed through this town over the years, Sparta today has become a place for people to stop and explore for a bit of time. This is especially true for nature enthusiasts, as this area known as the “Land of Falling Water” boasts great opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and viewing waterfalls at the Virgin Falls State Natural Area and Burgess Falls State Park.
