4 Awesome Waterfalls at Virgin Falls State Natural Area (Sparta, TN)

We spent a day waterfall hunting at Virgin Falls State Natural Area. It was a long day of hiking (10+ miles and 30k+ steps). It was worth every step, however. Tons of water was flowing across all four of the waterfalls we visited. My favorite waterfall wasn't even Virgin Falls. The water in the creek would appear and disappear at various times throughout the hike. The massive Virgin Falls waterfall disappears underground without even leaving a puddle. Weird. We had a picnic at Virgin Falls and then hit Martha's Pretty Point before ending our hike and resting our tired feet. This one has been on my list for a while. It was worth the wait! Adding this hike to the Epic Ground Pound List now!
This hike wound up #4 on my all time hike list and is the top hike in TN (outside of the GSMNP):

We just recently bought our first pull on trailer! We live nearby and watching your videos is so inspiring to get out there and like you said "get off the couch". Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration :)

That's awesome. It is worth the effort to get out there. TN has some beautiful places to see. Emily and I have really enjoyed seeing them via RV. Good luck and safe travels (and thanks for the nice comment)!

Wow! Got the hiking poles out for this one! Congrats! Beautiful but a tough one. I couldn’t never so thank you!

Yeah, they help when the legs (and feet) get tired on long hikes (with elevation). I needed new feet after this one! LOL
