Rockhouse Falls

Rockhouse Falls is a narrow waterfall in Fall Creek Falls State Park that drops approximately 38 meters into a natural stone bowl. The cascade flows alongside the wider Cane Creek Falls as both descend into the gorge.

The falls and surrounding gorges were formed over millions of years through water erosion cutting into the limestone of the Cumberland Plateau. This gradual sculpting created the rock formations and distinctive landscape visible today.

The falls attract photographers who come to capture the water during afternoon light. The gorge draws visitors interested in documenting the natural landscape and its seasonal changes.

The trail to the base uses a steep cable section, so visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be physically prepared for the climb. Conditions can become slippery after rain, so caution is important for safety.

The waterfall maintains a thin water column throughout the year, creating a striking contrast against the wide limestone walls of the gorge. This visual feature sets it apart from other falls in the region.
