Burgess Falls State Park is home to Falling Water Cascades and three other waterfalls on the same trail. Falling Water Cascades is the first you will come to on the trail. It is only a couple of feet from the parking lot.
From the parking lot, just follow the stairs and your ears straight down to the 20 foot Falling Water Cascades. While this waterfall alone is pretty, it probably wouldn’t be worth a trip just to see it. However, this is just the first of four on this trail and each one along the trail is more impressive than the previous.
Make sure you continue up the trail to see Little Falls, Middle Falls and Burgess Falls.
Burgess Falls State Park has maintained restrooms and a playground if you have little ones. It is a great place to stop if you are traveling on I-40 and want to stretch your legs. Although most people recommend Fall Creek Falls State Park, I enjoyed Burgess much better. Perhaps you can try both and let me know which you prefer.
