Coon Creek Falls, Plunge waterfall in Spencer, Tennessee.
Coon Creek Falls is a plunge waterfall in Tennessee that drops dramatically over rock faces and collects in a substantial pool below. The formation sits within a state park setting surrounded by forest and accessible by hiking trail.
The waterfall took shape over geological time as flowing water carved through rock layers in the region. This process of water erosion created the dramatic drop that exists at the site today.
Tennessee residents frequently gather near Coon Creek Falls for outdoor activities, including photography sessions and nature observation throughout the seasons.
Access is via a moderate hiking trail that winds through wooded terrain to reach the site. Sturdy footwear and water are essential, especially during warmer months or dry conditions.
Water flow at the site changes noticeably from season to season, creating very different visual experiences throughout the year. Heavy rainfall transforms it into a powerful torrent, while dry periods reduce it to a modest stream.
