Located on the Cumberland Plateau in Grandview, Tennessee, the Piney Falls State Natural Area is home to Upper Piney Falls, a scenic 80-foot tall waterfall.

Though the moderately difficult hike is designed as a loop, most visitors prefer to stay left at the split and make this a 2.5 mile out and back trail, rather than follow the loop and rely on a loose cable to navigate steep hillsides. The parking is limited & dogs (leashed) are welcome. No restrooms on site.

Prints are available in my gallery at Pixels, where you can choose between several types: framed, canvas, art, wood, metal, poster, acrylic and tapestry. I appreciate your patronage ~ thanks for stopping by!

Similar to other areas, it’s possible to walk behind and around the waterfall, and people often enjoy cooling off in the plunge pool. There is also a separate trail which leads to the upper section of Lower Piney Falls, a 40-foot waterfall.
