Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **2497 viewsThis Falls is one of the prettier small waterfalls in the area of Limestone Cove.

I only rate it as ** because of the two mile hike, one way, and the mud holes from vehicles.

LONG ARM BRANCH, TN.JPG
Long Arm Branch Falls2466 viewsIn the Clark Creek area Of TN HWY 107. A moderate hike but, to see it at it's best wait for a heavy rain.

While in that area you might as well beat yourself up by seeing Wilderness Falls.

Squibb Creek Upper Falls **2466 viewsThis seems to be the upper most falls on Squibb Creek but, that could be a geriatrics view.

Lets one practice creek crossing, if you like that sort of thing.

Really East Tennessee2441 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.

Welcome To Tennesse2431 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)
