Carmac Falls (large)_1200x900.jpg
Carmac, The main Event!1599 viewsI consider myself very lucky to be standing knee deep in a creek photographing this falls.

Actually there are two falls, side by side but, separated. I am not sure, even after looking at the map, if the one on the right is Evans Mill Falls.

Carmac Falls (small)1600 viewsThis part of Carmac Falls is smaller in width than the main falls and is located to the right of the main falls when facing it from downstream.

Both Falls are on private property and open to guest at Evins Mill B&B.

I have been lucky enough to stay at many B&Bs but, none with such an impressive waterfalls, and two waterfalls at that.

It may well be this falls is actually Evans Mill Falls

Drop me an email and I'll tell you how to contact them.

Wall To Wall Waterfall1634 viewsThe falls at Rock Island, TN are just that, wall to wall.

Due to the leakage from up river through the limestone and back into the lower river there is literally about a mile of waterfalls.

Erwin's Best2089 viewsEven in low water conditions Martin's Creek Falls, just up the creek from BJ's home town of Erwin, TN, shows off.

I just remembered why I love this part of our great nation.........of course I was thinking of BJ, don't think I would get all squishy about a creek running over a rock, do you?
