About Cummins Falls State Park

TennGreen Land Conservancy purchased and created this park in 2011, protecting 282 acres along the Blackburn Fork State Scenic River. The land holds Cummins Falls, a 75-foot waterfall that gives the park its name and sits directly on that river. The acreage and the drop of the falls give a sense of scale before setting out.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
