These Photos Of A Frozen Fall Creek Falls Will Take Your Breath Away

Wintertime in Tennessee can serve to upset a few folks, the ones who live for the sun and can’t wait for the warmer, flower-infused days of spring. Winter is, well, pretty cold. And kind of dark. Still, here in our home state we love to experience all that Tennessee has to offer, and that includes the frozen chill of our darker months. Fall Creek Falls, considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the state, is especially pretty during the wintertime. Here’s to a chilly couple of months, friends!

Fall Creek Falls State Park is the largest and most visited state park in Tennessee. Not to be confused with the most visited NATIONAL park in the state, which of course would be the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. No surprises there!

The park takes up 26,000 acres, located across the eastern edge of the famed Cumberland Plateau. You'll find all sorts of waterfalls, streams, cascades and gorges throughout the entirety of the park.

The frozen landscape is beautiful, but if you just can't get enough you can rent one of the 20 cabins in the park for between $145 and $210 a night. Each cabin comes with beds, linens, cooking appliances, telephone and cable. There's even firewood provided at your disposal from October to April.
