Photos: Cane Creek Falls and Cascade

The Nature Center is the place to register for overnight camping, get a map and some idea of what the area is like, and get directions to the parking area. Just behind it is Cane Creek Falls (85′) and Cane Creek Cascade. Both of them are really nice. And the water was really flowing this day.

I had to wait a little while for the rangers to get back from lunch. So I took the opportunity to take a few pictures. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize there was a trail to the bottom of the falls, so I missed out on that. Still here are my favorites from this area:

Fall Creek Falls State Park

On my Spring Break I took a short camping trip to Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee. It’s in the center of the Nashville-Knoxville-Chattanooga triangle.

I like to get out into the woods from time to time and get away from computers and books and the comforts of home. Not only does this allow me to reclaim some peaceful side of my brain, it also proves how out of shape I become sitting at a desk most of the day. Yikes. It’s really bad.

The general quiet of the woods is also a perfect place to think about life and meditate on my Bible and my walk with the Lord. I have a couple of stories I’ll share in the next few posts about some of these meditations. I hope they will be encouraging. They were for me.

Here’s a map of the trail:

I have a pre-hike post to make, and then the colored sections indicate the planned posts from the hike, yellow first and then moving counter-clockwise. Eventually, you’ll be able to see the whole trip from beginning to end in photos.
