Falling Water Falls State Natural Area

"Wowwwww is all I can say about this place, hidden gem! We could have spent all day in this short hike yet incredible views of the canyons, creek and amazing waterfall...we will definitely be coming back here!"

"Beautiful views, multiple places to hike. The creek is shallow for creek stomping and exploring the areas around the water. The parking lot is small, so carpool if you go with a group."

"This is a cool little hike to a beautiful waterfall overlooking the valley surrounding Signal Mountain. I took these photos back in the summer so they’re not actually up to date, but they will give an idea of what to expect. There is limited parking for only several vehicles at a time. However, having limited parking spots guarantees a quiet and a not-so-busy time out in nature, so that might be a plus. If you are looking for a peaceful time out in nature, then this is a good place for that. The trail is at times quite narrow, and the surrounding brush is thick and vibrant like a natural arbor, which gives one a cozy feeling. It’s almost like you’re walking through an enchanted forest or something. You do feel very close to nature! If you’re into scenic views and quiet hikes, then this is definitely worth checking out!"

"It is a little out of the way through some winding roads.. there is maybe 3 parking spaces.. the hike is maybe 1/2 mile to and from the parking zone. We went when the falls were dried up and could take pictures. It was easy for our entire group of 12. Ages from 11-45. We had a great time and ran into a few other climbers as well. It was very dry so there was no slippery paths to try to get down or up (like after snow melts or there is rain). Glad we took the time out of our day to visit and would recommend for any group big or small."

"Such a beautiful place. Not very big and limited parking with only four spots, but worth the short easy hike to the falls. You'll drive up a scenic switchback road at 10 - 20 mph most of the way to access this location from Chattanooga. The falls aren't large, but I expected that as all the reviews said the same, but I knew it wouldn't require hours of challenging hiking and the scenery would be lovely. It actually exceeded our expectations. The clear running creek or river was so picturesque with the small falls and beautiful rocks. You can follow the rocks a short way towards a bigger drop (you can't see the water from there), but the surrounding mountain views are gorgeous!"
