Sparta, TN

 

Burgess Falls is located in middle Tennessee near Sparta.  A short time ago it was temporarily closed due to a lack of funding in the state park department.  It was reopened, with a small fee ($3 in 2003) to help provide the park with its daily needs.  Burgess Falls State Park Natural Area contains many waterfalls.  The most famous being Burgess Falls. For the brave there is a steep set of stairs leading to the bottom where you can stand and feel the spray on your face.
