About this place
Added by Girls Who Hike
Lost Creek Falls are only ~0.2 miles from the parking lot! Our family visited this state natural area for the first time recently and fell in love.
GPS Coordinates:
35.84102,-85.36123
Why We Love It:
- NO CROWDS- We only came across a few other people so, it’s a little more low key than some other popular Tennessee waterfalls.
- DISNEY LOVED IT- This was a filming location for Disney’s 1994 The Jungle Book!
- CAVE- Across the path there is a large entrance to Lost Creek Cave, one of the larger caves in Tennessee. There is a waterfall in the cave, but the trek to the falls may not be safe for children. If you are sans-kids, bring your headlamps ready to explore! To be official, you can get a free permit to explore the cave at the Fall Creek Falls Nature Center. *We also love nearby Fall Creek Falls State Park!

Easy & short hike
Beautiful waterfalls. Be sure to wear appropriate shoes with grip on the bottom, otherwise the rocks are too slippery to navigate properly.

When I think about little adventures for my family, this is what I have in mind!
I followed directions on my apple maps to find this and prayed through the whole long drive that we weren't going to be disappointed ...
