Burgess Falls is located near Cookeville, TN, about an hour and a half east of Nashville. It's a bit of a hike down to the falls, but it's nothing like the hike down to Fall Creek Falls. There is a well worn path with steps and even metal stairs where needed. The path stops near the top of the falls, where we're standing in the picture. If you want to climb to the bottom of the falls to play in the water, it's kind of steep and the grass is usually tall. You somewhat have to climb your way down. I've done it several times, too.

Besides the falls, there are picnic areas. One picnic area even has a small playground for kids. If you want more information on the Burgess Falls State Natural Area, check out: http://www.tennessee.gov/environment/parks/BurgessFalls/
