"Tennessee is another great state for outdoor adventures, but it's home to one very unique outdoor pastime: hunting for waterfalls. Home to over 500 waterfalls, hikers and other outdoor lovers will be pleased to find plenty of opportunities to spot these majestic geological wonders. Some examples of waterfalls in Tennessee include Fall Creek Falls, Jackson Falls at Natchez Trace Parkway, Machine Falls, Rock Island State Park's Twin Falls and, perhaps the most interesting of all, Lookout Mountain's underground Ruby Falls, which falls a stunning 145 feet, making it the nation's largest underground waterfall!"
