Cummins Falls

August 5, 2026 - Tennessee

2.1 mi  /  224 ft

Our August vacation over Alisa's birthday this year took place in Tennessee. It was mostly a country music (Nashville) and amusement park (Dollywood) type of vacation, but between the two areas we discovered a real gem in Cummins Falls. We did it early in the day on a Wednesday, and as such were treated to an hour or so at the falls with literally no one else around. Amazing! This is probably the best natural swimming hole I've ever been to, and you could climb up, around, and behind the beautiful falls, and even do a small cliff jump into the pool. Since no one was around I was even able to bust out the drone and get a little video. :)
