Cummins Falls, Waterfall in Jackson County, Tennessee, United States.
The Blackburn Fork River creates a 75-foot waterfall with two distinct drops, ending in a large natural swimming pool at its base.
The Cummins family maintained ownership of this land from 1825 until 2011, when it became Tennessee's 54th state park through a foundation purchase.
Local residents and visitors gather at the falls during summer months, continuing a multi-generation tradition of swimming and community gatherings.
The Tennessee State Parks system requires visitors to obtain a Gorge Access Permit before entering the waterfall base area for safety management.
The waterfall system includes a 50-foot vertical plunge followed by a 25-foot cascade, creating two separate swimming areas for water recreation.
