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.

If you stop…read morein the Visitor Center, they have maps and written directions on how to hit the highlights easily. You can view different falls, cascades, flow stones, and more from short distance strolls to overlooks, or delve deeper into the gorge for a closer view. Swimming is not permitted except in certain areas, so take notice, people have drowned here. Be careful when hiking and exploring the floor of the gorge as the dam can release water with limited warning. That being said, the Twin Falls and Great Falls are lovely, and the diverse landscape keeps the walk extremely interesting! Me and the dog did the Upstream and Downstream trails on the Twin Falls side, and the Gorge Trail on the Great Falls side, and while Dianne, they are steep and slippery, so wear proper shoes!

The Civilian Conservation Corps worked eight years to build trails and facilities. It's the first state park in the South to be designated a Dark Sky Park, meaning there's so little light pollution you can get unencumbered views of the sky. It has 15 cabins, 26 campsites, a visitors' center, a playground, a nature center, a tennis court, an apiary, a volleyball court, an amphitheater, and 58 miles of hiking trails- including the Blue Trail (.75 mile), the Double Falls Trail (.7 mile), the Hazard Cave Trail (1.6 mile), the Hidden Passage Trail (7.8 miles), the Indian Rockhouse Trail (.2 mile), the Island Trail (.3 mile), the Ladder Trail (.95 mile), the Lake View Trail (.5 mile), the Moccasin Rock Trail (.65 mile), the Natural Bridge Trail (1 mile), the Ridge Trail (2.5 miles), and the Tunnel Trail (.45 mile).

This is something Florida needs to jump on board with. And there was so many great spots for ground camping as well as areas for campers/RVs. We spent a couple hours at the park doing the hike to the waterfall. It was pretty leisurely and the grade is mild so it made for a comfortable trek. If you are planning to hike here, drive as faaaaaar as you can before parking. If you choose to park in the first lots you'll be walking about a mile just to get to the trail head. The trails were beautiful and the waterfall is so fun! You really can climb and explore it, I would suggest bringing plenty of water to drink and shoes that you can walk through the water in.

I booked the Cumberland Below the Falls Whitewater Rafting trip expecting a real rafting…read moreexperience. Instead, the water was so low that our raft constantly got stuck on rocks, making the trip frustrating, unsafe, and nothing like what was advertised. At the very beginning of the trip, our guide Johnny even told us that the American Whitewater Association recommends a minimum of 400 ft water flow for rafting but that day it was only 250 ft. In other words, they knowingly took customers out in conditions that were below safe standards. When I asked for a refund, the company refused. Instead, they offered me a 50% discount on a future trip in an entirely different state in 2026 which is irrelevant and unacceptable. In their own follow-up email, the company admitted that Johnny was frustrated with the low water levels and that the trip was disappointing. This company clearly cares more about taking your money than providing a good customer experience. If you're looking for a real rafting adventure and a company that values its customers, I strongly recommend booking elsewhere.
