Nice little gem of a park, just didn't have enough time to fully explore. If you're ever in this area (somewhere between Nashville and Knoxville), it'd be worth a visit:

It's unreal how big the falls are when you are down there. Nice shots! 5DS R | 1Ds Mark III | Canon 16-35mm F/4L IS | Canon 24-70mm F/4L IS | Canon 70-200mm F/4L | Canon 50mm F/1.8 STM | Sigma 24-35mm F/2.0 Art | Samyang 14mm F/2.8 |

Most people around dislike the park--It's not the highest falls around. It's also one of TN's only resort parks. It's not as nice as half the others around. The falls is controlled by the lake - not really natural. It wouldn't be a stream proper without the lake. Mac P.

It's unreal how big the falls are when you are down there. Nice shots! No, didn't get much farther than where I was at due to the time factor. The good light disappeared rather quickly due to heavy clouds (and I still had 800+ miles to go). plasticmotif wrote in post #13630187 I live fairly near.

The falls is controlled by the lake - not really natural. It wouldn't be a stream proper without the lake. All of my works staff meetings were held there for the past previous years. Enough of my complaining! GREAT SHOTS! Esp. like the light in number 2. I was the only person there, believe it or not. Meant to get to the cable hike, but just didn't have enough time. I think the park has some promise for shooting opportunities...must be great in the fall. Just not sure when I'll be back that way...I was on the return leg from a road trip to the northeast and needed to get some stock shooting in and decided to give it a go.

This is one of the better state parks I've visited, with several large waterfalls and good trails. When I was there a couple years ago, that part of TN was actually flooding in places. The waterfalls in this park were really too big to look their best. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1
