Welcome To Tennesse394 viewsIf you happen to be traveling North on I-26 and have just entered Tennessee, stop at the very first Rest Stop and Welcome center. Just across the Interstate is Clear Branch Falls.

Go under I-26 and turn right at the stop sign. Proceed past the Church and as you descend down the hill keep a lookout on your left. Just past the last house is Clear Branch Falls (upper). After that keep an eye out and you will see Clear Branch Falls (lower)

Really East Tennessee399 viewsThis waterfall measures only 12 ft high. This web site qualifies any cascade above 8 ft as a waterfall.

With this in mind, this may be the most Eastern waterfall in Tennessee.
