Bruce Creek
Situated in Caryville, Tennessee, Bruce Creek was relocated many decades ago to accommodate the I-75 interstate highway system. During that process, a waterfall known as Triple Falls, or Little Egypt, was created.
Seen here, rushing whitewater rapids appear ready to topple a large boulder. You can also go with the flow to my gallery for a selection of fine prints – great on a wall at home, or in the office!

Triple Falls
From Saturday: this waterfall is named Triple Falls (also known as Little Egypt) and is located on a trail along Bruce Creek, in Caryville, Tennessee…
-
Waterfall With No Name
Beyond Triple Falls is a bridge and trail leading up the mountain, to an area known as Devil’s Racetrack. However, if instead you elect to follow the river for approx. 1/2 mile, you’ll come upon this scenic, unnamed waterfall standing approx. 30-feet tall.
You can find a variety of fine prints with my photography in my gallery at Pixels.
Thanks for visiting!

Trail Is A Creek
No, this isn’t Bruce Creek – that’s located down a small hill to the left. This is the trail, which, essentially, has become a small creek following gravity. Better wear boots! See more.

Triple Falls On Bruce Creek
Following recent rains, I decided that it was worth the sacrifice of wet feet & muddy shoes in exchange for the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Triple Falls (a.k.a., Little Egypt), located on Bruce Creek, near Caryville, Tennessee.
To begin, there are more than three waterfalls along this one mile out and back hike. The “triple” component of its name refers to three primary ledges from which water falls, engineered many decades ago via construction which rerouted Bruce Creek, in order to accommodate the development of highway I-75.
For those hikers interested in a mountain-top view, the trail continues beyond the waterfalls to Devil’s Racetrack, along a very steep ascent with many switchbacks. Here are a few pictures from a previous visit to the top…
Prints. If you’d be interested in a print of any kind, please visit my shop at Pixels.
Planning a visit?
I arrived at Triple Falls before 7:30 a.m., and, to my delight, was the only person on site for the entirety of my nearly three-hour visit! However, if you happen to visit the area during nice weather on a weekend, you can expect to see several hikers along the trail. Parking is limited, with overflow along either side of Shelton Hollow Drive. It’s not a State Park and there aren’t any signs at the trailhead, nor restrooms or water. Instead, it’s marked by several boulders on your right. If you can look beyond some graffiti and discarded litter near the road, as well as traffic noise from I-75 (which dissipates with distance), you’ll certainly enjoy the hike!
