Wildcat Falls (TN)

Posted on January 29, 2021 Written by Leave a Comment

Nearby Areas: Burgess Falls, Sparta   State: Tennessee   Ease of Trail: Roadside

Wildcat Falls is a roadside waterfall in Sparta, TN. It is roadside and not very far from Burgess Falls. This is what I call a hit or miss waterfall. Sometimes the waterfall is pretty and sometimes it is a trickle.

Unfortunately when we visited, it was a trickle, hence my low rating. I have seen pictures of this waterfall after a really good rain and it looks very nice, so my recommendation is to visit immediately after a good rainfall for the best results.

Since it is close to Burgess Falls, it is worth checking out. If it was dried up like when we visited, you may want to continue down the road to Sunset Rock.

Wildcat Falls will be on your right. There is a small pull off right in front of the waterfall.
