Hidden Waterfalls Hike and Suspension Bridge Crossing in Cumberland Plateau

On this full-day canyon adventure we enjoy a scenic 1.5 hour drive as we journey southeast of Nashville and onto the Cumberland Plateau - the largest state protected wilderness in Tennessee. This is a geologically rich, biodiverse region of middle Tennessee featuring numerous state parks and natural areas packed with awe inspiring waterfalls, mysterious caves, and breathtaking vistas.

We will hike alongside the beautiful Fiery Gizzard Creek, see some waterfalls, and a Continental Trail Wreck! That's right! We get to see up close and in-person the results of when two continental plates collided some 270 million years ago.

Relaxing sounds of flowing rapids and birds fill the air as we enjoy our day hiking in one of the best nature preserves in Tennessee. Along with all the inspiring water works, you will enjoy the stunning rock formations.

You may wish to come prepared to take a dip in one of the waterfall pools during warmer months. It's a great way to relax and cool down.

This hike is approximately 3 to 4 miles long with over 300ft of elevation gain. We will traverse a lot of slippery rocks, roots, and some stair steps. Please note that many of the rocks are subject to shift / move when stepped on.
