Falls Creek Falls

One of the biggest attractions close by is Falls Creek Falls State Resort Park.

Fall Creek Falls at 256' is the greatest vertical drop east of the Rocky Mountains.

Coon Creek Falls at 250' is viewed alongside Fall Creek Falls.

Piney Creek Falls goes over a 45' sandstone outcrop then cascades another 40' over into a canyon of the Cane Creek Gorge in the FCF St. Park.

Cane Creek Falls is 85' tall as it drops into Cane Creek.

Rockhouse Creek Falls at 125' also falls into the Cane Creek Gorge, and is a tributary stream of Cane Creek. Looking across the gorge amphitheater you give you a view of the Rockhouse Creek Falls.

Cane Creek Cascades flows 45 ' down a 60' wide sandstone wall and is located behind the FCF St. Park Nature Center.

Throughout various times during the year, the park also hosts live mountain music and various festivals. And much, much more.

The park is about 10 miles from our cabins.
