== Tourism == * [[Fall Creek Falls State Park|'''Fall Creek Falls State Resort Park-''']] is a [[state park]] in [[Van Buren County, Tennessee|Van Buren]] and [[Bledsoe County, Tennessee|Bledsoe]] counties, in the U.S. state of [[Tennessee]]. The over 26,000-acre (110 km<sup>2</sup>) park is centered on the upper Cane Creek Gorge, an area known for its unique geological formations and scenic waterfalls. The park's namesake is the 256-foot (78 m) [[Fall Creek Falls]], the highest free-fall waterfall east of the [[Mississippi River]]. * '''[[Fall Creek Falls]]''', a 256-foot (78 m) plunge waterfall located just west of the creek's confluence with Cane Creek. A short trail leads from the parking lot atop the plateau down to the base of the gorge, giving access to the waterfall's plunge pool. * '''[[Cane Creek Falls]]''', an 85-foot (26 m) plunge waterfall located along Cane Creek, above the creek's confluence with Rockhouse Creek and Fall Creek. The waterfall is visible from the Gorge Trail and from the base of the Cane Creek Gorge, which can be accessed via the Cable Trail. * '''[[Cane Creek Cascades]]''', a 45-foot (14 m) cascade located along Cane Creek, just above Cane Creek Falls. * '''[[Rockhouse Falls]]''', a 125-foot (38 m) plunge waterfall that marks Rockhouse Creek's confluence with Cane Creek. The waterfall, which shares a plunge pool with Cane Creek Falls, is visible from the Gorge Trail and from the base of the Cane Creek Gorge. * '''[[Piney Creek Falls]]''', a 95-foot (29 m) waterfall located along Piney Creek, a mile or so above its confluence with Cane Creek. Trails lead to the base of the falls and an overlook above the falls. * '''[[Coon Creek Falls]]''', a 250-foot (76 m) plunge waterfall that drops into the Fall Creek Gorge, nearly adjacent Fall Creek Falls. Its proximity to Fall Creek Falls renders it less conspicuous. * '''Lost Creek Falls''', a 60-foot (18 m) plunge waterfall where water emerges from a cave above the falls and disappears from the pool at the base. * '''Cane Creek Overlook''', located just off the Gorge Trail, looks out over Cane Creek Falls and Rockhouse Falls. * '''Cane Creek Gorge Overlook''', located just off the Gorge Trail, looks northward across the Cane Creek Gorge. * '''Rocky Point Overlook''', located just off the Gorge Trail on an exposed cliff, looks northward across the Cane Creek Gorge. * '''Millikan's Overlook''', located just off the road in the Piney Creek section of the park, looks northward across the Cane Creek Gorge, near the confluence of Piney Creek and Cane Creek. * '''Buzzard's Roost''', a cliff located near Millikan's Overlook. * '''Rumbling Falls Cave''', which has the second largest cave chamber in the United States, is located in the park's Dry Fork section, near Spencer.<ref>{{Cite web|date=February 24, 2002|title=National Geographic Adventure: First Photo of a Titanic Cave|website=[[National Geographic Society]] |url=http://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/0203/q_n_a.html|access-date=November 16, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020224141510/http://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/0203/q_n_a.html|archive-date=February 24, 2002}}</ref> * '''Camps Gulf Cave''' is another large cave located in the park that contains very large chambers. * '''Lost Creek Cave''' has five entrances, contains a waterfall and 7 miles (11.3 km) of passageways.
