    Wow, I love this park! It's fricking huge!! There are tons of sports fields, playgrounds, walking trails, picnic tables, public restrooms, and much more. I can't believe how beautiful the greenery at this park was. It's definitely well maintained, just a very clean park in general. We took our toddler here and he absolutely loved it! We had so much fun with him as adults too lol. The only downfall is that the mosquitos are very bad. Of course that's a little uncontrollable when you're outdoors. I highly recommended this park to anyone that lives around here or is in the area. We will definitely be back to this one.

    The hiking is amazing. Easy to see the trial as it is clearly marked, hardly any people around.

    Fantastic park! The wilderness hiking area feels, well, like you are out in the middle of the forest somewhere. You are, but you are also very close to the city. The trails are very well maintained and the markings are fairly easy to spot. There are some areas where the markings can be improved, but if you just stop and look around, they are fairly easy to see. I was amazed that we only met two other people on our hike, and we did an entire loop with a couple of side loops. I think this is one of the Boro's best kept secrets! It's a great, quick way to get to a beautiful hiking destination! Highly recommend hiking here.

    How has this hid from me for so long?? I really loved this park. It started pretty tame, on a paved path... but once you get down to the river it takes an awesome turn. It is rocky with ups and downs, the red trail loop is about 2.65 miles. The terrain changes in many places and there are definitely some steep areas... I was out of breath a couple of times. There were plenty of people there... laying in hammocks, fishing, playing fetch with pups.. despite this it didn't feel overcrowded. Unfortunately the wilderness center was closed when I went but it seemed cute and they had plenty of activities listed on the bulletin board outside. I know I will frequent here often. All my photos from the hike credited to my sister Bassma F (she's awesome)

    This is a great place to bring your kids. It has hiking trails for all levels and a gift shop full of small critters for them also. There are classes each Wednesday at 9:30 for the little ones. Home school science class and paint class each month for mom.

    Took my daughter to The Wilderness Center for their Wild Things program today. It was different from any other olay group setting I've found so far. I love how everything is nature related of course. The took the kids (1-4) on the tiniest hike to look for seeds and berries it was so cute! They sang songs related to what the "lesson plan" was for the day and then a craft project. The highlight is that they bring out an animal! This week was all about corn and seeds so they glued popcorn to a paper corn cob. They are go to see a Corn Snake up close and personal!! At only $3 it is so worth the money. Will be back next week for Turtles and Turkeys the week after that!

    This park touts the largest waterfall east of the Mississippi River (sans Niagara), and it did NOT…read moredisappoint! First: be prepared to hike a little. It's about a mile in to get to this part, but worth every step. Plus, there are several lessor falls en route to the main event. They were breathtaking even for a low- flow season like September. I imagine these falls roar to life early spring with the mountain thaws. There's a dirt road that allows for less strenuous hiking than the woodsy areas if you're brush averse and don't want to be as much of a Billy goat, but eventually you have to hike a little ways to the observation points on the trail, so bear that in mind. Fun excursion for the whole family!

    This is Burgess Falls, another state park located in Central Tennessee sitting 12 miles northwest…read moreof the town of Sparta, TN. There's a 3/4 of a mile out and back hike called the River Trail that leads to 4 different waterfall lookout points comprising Burgess Falls SP. Waterfall #1 - The Cascades. Sort of the introduction area to the park. Waterfall #2 - First Falls. A quick glance at a 30 foot high waterfall section. But nothing special, imo. When Continuing on the trail, you'll cross over a wooden bridge and follow up a staircase. Now at... Waterfall #3 - Middle Falls... Middle Falls is 80 feet high and partially obstructed by trees and branches having grown over time. *Side Note*.... I wish park services would do some forest cutting for everyone to enjoy clearer views of the park's waterfalls. Entrance right now is free. I'd suggest charging a small fee and using that money to pay for some grooming. A lot of the observation points can't be fully appreciated. Just me venting a little, lol. Waterfall #4 - Burgess Falls... Burgess falls is the centerpiece highlight of the park. Standing at 136 feet from top to bottom, Burgess Falls can absolutely be dramatic, but still natural excess forest maturation disrupts full visibility of the falls. I did read that kayaking at the bottom of Burgess Falls is the most interactive way to come face to face with this statuesque waterfall. You can rent kayaks at Cane Hollow Recreation Area, located at the end of Cane Hollow Road. It's about 10 minutes from Burgess Falls. You can end the River Trail hike at the Top of Burgess for a panoramic overlook of the rugged gorge the falls splash down into from high above. It's another quick stop and go area before returning back towards the trailhead. Overall, Burgess Falls was a muted experience for me, but still has potential to be a rewarding visit if park authorities can maintain the inevitable growing forest hindrances that negate special moments at the waterfall overlooks.

    Cummins Falls State Park is located 10 miles north of the town of Cookeville, in Central Tennessee…read more Can you go swimming at Cummins Falls??? Of course you can! It's a 1 mile hike down to the bottom of a gorge to reach a swimming hole Travel and Leisure Magazine rates...as one of the "10 Best in the United States"! It's $7 to gain access to the gorge. You can purchase passes online ahead of time at tnstateparks.com. Or, you can buy passes inside the Visitor Center the day of, but they allot only 200 tickets per day so depending upon the time of year, passes can sell out quickly especially during peak summers. Now...there is a waterfall overlook to check out but I think it'd be more worthwhile to get to Cummins Falls ASAP before the crowds arrive and you can always visit the lookout on the return trip back up towards the trailhead. Once you reach the river area, it's 6/10th's of a mile remaining until you arrive at the falls. Also, make sure to hang towards the left while hiking beside the river and (imo) it's imperative to be wearing water shoes as the creek is filled with sharp rocks and water levels reaching shin high. While hiking to Cummins Falls, you really get a sense for being in the heart of nature. I enjoyed the setting. Approaching the falls, it's 75 feet of cascading waters flowing down the cliffside and ideal for swimming. Best of all, visitors can climb the rocks and explore at their leisure making for an adventurous experience. Of course, it's a rite of passage to finish the experience in style by going swimming. The park opens at 8am. I'd suggest arriving as early as possible before it gets busy. The park closes at 6pm but there's a clearly stated sign that visitors must exit the gorge area by 5pm. One extra note...lifeguards are on duty at Cummins Falls throughout the day. When returning back up towards the trailhead, now head over to the lookout platform getting to admire Cummins Falls from high above. It makes for a photogenic perspective and is a clear reminder of why the great outdoors can be so special. Right nearby Cummins Falls SP are more local waterfalls to check out including...Fall Creek Falls, Burgess Falls, Ozone Falls, Virgin Falls, Piney Falls and Stinging Fork Falls, just to name a few.
