Fall Creek Falls State Resort Park lies in the U.S. county of Van Buren in Tennessee and is a popular state park. The park is situated on the upper Cane Creek River, an expansive area rich in dramatic geological formations and beautiful waterfalls. The water falls are composed of several distinct geological formations like Cane Canyon, Pine Ridge Overlook, Black Mountain, and Medicine Rock. All these formations are situated on the floodplain, which is located below the falls. Water from the river empties into the Little Tennessee River and flows into the basin of Big Hole Lake.
The falls contain many waterfalls and attractions. You can also have a glimpse of the natural setting that surrounds the falls. You can even go deep inside to see the cave system that houses numerous caves where climbers often scale to reach the top of the waterfall. Another attraction of the Fall Creek Falls is the viewpoints which provide spectacular views of the surrounding natural scenery.
If you want to have a pleasant and peaceful holiday vacation, you can take a boat tour to the falls. Boats are available at the terminal and you can choose to stay overnight to enjoy the scenic falls. The cost of enjoying the fall sunset is considerably less than the more expensive hotel packages. You can buy a map of the area and its nearby attractions that will help you find your way around. It is also important to bring along with you a camera to capture the breathtaking views.
