Fall Creek Falls, Waterfall in Spencer, Tennessee, US
Fall Creek Falls measures 256 feet in height and forms a sheer drop into a plunge pool shared with neighboring Coon Creek Falls.
The Fall Creek Falls area contains evidence of Native American settlements that existed long before the land became a state park in 1974.
The state park surrounding Fall Creek Falls serves as an outdoor education center where visitors learn about local wildlife, geology, and environmental preservation.
